How is Hobbes Locke and Rousseau understand the state of nature and the social contract differently?

Hobbes believed the state of nature was chaotic and people needed a strong central authority to maintain order, with the social contract giving up some freedoms in exchange for security. Locke viewed the state of nature as peaceful and believed the social contract should protect natural rights like life, liberty, and property. Rousseau saw the state of nature as harmonious and believed the social contract should preserve individual freedom while maintaining the general will of the community.
