At some point, it will occur to you that there is this oddity in the argument: most people living in a civil society never actua

lly contract. That is, they never promise to obey its rules. They are just born into those rules. This probably includes you. So, are you bound by hobbes' argument? Why or why not?

There is no objective answer to this question, as both sides have arguments that support their views.

If you believe that you are bound by Hobbes' argument, it is because of tacit consent. Tacit consent means that, even though you have not explicitly agreed to follow laws, you have indicated your agreement through other means, for example, by using the public services of the government or by remaining within the limits of your country. Also, you could argue that any rational person would prefer to follow the rules of the government than to live in the state of nature. Therefore, if you are rational, your consent is assumed. Finally, you could also argue that while you did not explicitly agreed, maybe your ancestors did, which still binds you as a member of the same society.

On the other hand, if you believe that you are not bound by Hobbes' argument, you could argue that any contract that is not freely agreed upon is not valid. As the government uses force to make you act according to the law, you cannot be considered to be freely consenting. Also, you can argue that agreeing to follow some rules does not imply following <em>all</em> of the laws of the country. Finally, a common argument against Hobbes is the lack of empirical data. As we do not know if the state of nature is actually bad, or if the contract ever happened, the government cannot gain its legitimacy in that way.

puteri [66]
Italy's economy historically struggled due to poor unification between regions, with sicily and venetia, for example, having incredibly different economies that are minimally connected. furthermore, children would usually work the same jobs as their parents, leading to low social mobility and occupations of new jobs. in the future, italy's economy can improve with better unification and public education. cooperation between different industries across regions would be highly beneficial.

A civil trial would be most likely to result if Mary says that Ann a. Stole a car. b. Drove too fast. c. Owes her money. d. Set
krek1111 [17]

The correct answer is C) Owes her money.

A civil trial would be most likely to result if Mary says that Ann owes her money.

In legal terms, we are referring to a civil trial when there is a legal dispute in a civil matter, which means that two parties need to resolve a difference between them.

A party has to file a complaint paying a fee to start the process. In this case, it is a civil case because it is a problem between two civilians, Mary and Ann, Mary stating that Ann owes her money.

Other types of civil cases are contract disputes, property disputes, and divorces.

The other types of cases in the United States are legal Criminal cases.
