11. Which of the following believed that people must surrender their liberties to a sovereign state,
in exchange for the state's obligation to keep the peace?
In England, experience of the Civil War led Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679) to
propose a different theory of state sovereignty in his treatise Leviathan (165
1). Whereas Bodin assumed that sovereign power should be vested in a mo
narch, Hobbes argued that any form of government capable of protecting its
subjects’ lives and property might act as an all-powerful sovereign.
Hobbes’s conviction of the need for a strong state arose from his pessimistic
view of human nature. The “state of nature” that existed before governmen
t, he wrote, was “war of all against all.” Because man naturally behaves as “
a wolf” toward other men, human life without government is “solitary, poor,
nasty, brutish, and short.” To escape such consequences, people must sur
render their liberties to a sovereign state, in exchange for the stat
e’s obligation to keep the peace. Bodin saw the ultimate goal of the stat
e as the protection of property, whereas Hobbes saw it as the preservation
of people’s lives, even at the expense of their liberties.
