Explanation:

The reasons for the origins of government derives most probably from the requirement of protecting people from conflicts which may arise as people interact within each other or with peoples in other locations and to provide law and order among people living together so as to prevent internal conflicts due to selfishness and greed over privileges and property. Therefore, governments are meant to protect private property according to Karl Marx people are greedy and selfish because of property
