Bentham did contrast political society with natural society. The state of nature is not an asocial or anti-social state. It is an ongoing society, with men in conversation, that is, in interaction with each other. 

 For Bentham there was no pure state or nature or political society, but there was a continuum between the two.  He advised the government to encourage industrialisation to generate employment so that each individual could look after his own subsistence, but if an individual was unable to do so, the government was to set up a common fund from contributions from the rich, for the well being of the poor.  

 Bentham thought that affluence could best be increased by guaranteeing to each man the due reward of his work and security of his possessions. The state should also encourage the invention of new tools and gadgets, and offer rewards, for socially useful inventions. 

 For Bentham, security had several components-the security of person, of property, of power, of reputation, and of condition of life. It is government's responsibility to provide the security to life and property of its citizens.

 Bentham believed man to be a creature so dependent on others for his well being that human life would be miserable and even impossible if men did not render various types of services to one another. 

 Benthom's utilitarianism led him to believe that the government that would best serve the people's interests would be the democratic form of government. Only in such a government, interests of the governed and those in governrnent be engineered and happyness can be maximise.
