For an introduction to Political Philosophy, I found Introduction to Political Philosophy by Jonathan Wolff a nice read. It references some primary sources like Hobbes and Locke to introduce the basic problems of Political Philosophy.

If at some point you get into reading primary sources, check out Reflections on the Revolution in France by Edmund Burke. Edmund Burke is the father of Conservatism and an important figure in political philosophy.

No problem. You should read the first chapter of An Introduction to Political Philosophy by Jonathan Wolff. It's very short and deals with exactly this topic, comparing/contrasting Locke to Hobbes also to Rousseau on the "state of nature". If you're at a college or something then the library will probably have it.
