Leviathan by Thomas Hobbes, Chapter 18 요약
65의 Chapter 18 · Part 2: Of the Commonwealth · chapter 읽는 데 14분
In Chapter 18, the argument derives sovereign rights from a covenant through which people authorize a representative chosen by the majority to secure peace and protection. It makes these powers inseparable, denies subjects grounds to depose or punish their sovereign, and argues that government’s burdens are smaller than the misery of civil war.
