Why does hobbes's version of the social contract give absolute power to a sovereign?

History
1 answer:
suter [353]3 years ago
7 0
It gave absolute power because he claimed that governments formed out of numerous individuals would inevitably cause countries that behaved as anarchically as the individuals did without a contract. For that reason, it is necessary for there to be a strong individual ruler who is above the idea of state and who is capable of protecting the state's interests from foreign incursions or warfare with foreigners. If a country didn't have such a ruler it could easily start wars with other countries and would soon fail.

What are some similarities and differences between the Magna Carta, Declaration of Independence, and Bill of Rights?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

Similarities:

-The two documents are popular in their countries of origin with the Magna Carta being popular in Britain and the Declaration being popular in the United States.

- The documents were both borne out of rebellion; the Magna Carta was first established after conflicts between the King and rebel barons and the Declaration was established after conflict between the thirteen American states and Great Britain.

-The two documents both sought to assert individual human freedoms and rights.

Differences:

- Where the Declaration confirms that power rests with the people, the Magna Carta asserted that power rests with the sovereign until changes through the Six Statutes sought to limit these powers.

- In the Magna Carta the rights of the people are granted by the government while in the Declaration, people's rights are God given. The Declaration was based on universal principles regarding all human beings but the Magna Carta was based on a particular group of people (barons) but which was later changed to the more inclusive term any freeman.
