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.
<span>chopping down a tree that was sacred to the Germanic god Thor
Saint Boniface was an Anglo-Saxon missionary who spread Christianity in different parts of Europe, particularly Germany. To prove that his God was stronger than the pagan gods, Saint Boniface set out to cut down the oak tree which was sacred to the god Thor at Geismar, Germany. While St. Boniface was beginning to chop down the tree, a strong wind blew and the oak tree crashed to the ground. The trunk split into 4 parts of equal length and St. Boniface remained unharmed from the incident. The people, amazed, then converted to Christianity.
