The Social Contract and Covenant (Hobbes, Pt. 5)
Part Five of our section on Thomas Hobbes and Leviathan, part of a larger series entitled Foundations of Western Political Thought. In this video we continue our examination of the text, reading and analyzing Hobbes's arguments for the creation of the Commonwealth and the Sovereign through the covenant of every man with every man. Hobbes also distinguishes between sovereignty by institution and sovereignty by acquisition (conquest or victory in war). In both forms, the Sovereign - whether one man or an assembly of men - has exclusive right, as sole legislator, to the establishment of civil laws, to which all subjects within the Commonwealth are bound, being, as they were, authors of those very statutes via the Sovereign who bears their person.
