Thomas Hobbes published a famous work called <em>Leviathan</em> in 1651. The title "Leviathan" comes from a biblical word for a great and mighty beast. Hobbes believed government is formed by people for the sake of their personal security and stability in society. In Hobbes' view, once the people put a king (or other leader in power), then that leader needs to have supreme power (like a great and mighty beast). Hobbes' view of the natural state of human beings without a government held that people are too divided and too volatile as individuals -- everyone looking out for his own interests. So for security and stability, authority and the power of the law needs to be in the hands of a powerful ruler like a king or queen. And so people willingly enter a "social contract" in which they live under a government that provides stability and security for society.
Probably the most famous set of lines from Hobbes' <em>Leviathan</em> book describes what he saw as the natural state of human affairs without government -- one in which every individual had freedom, but that meant it was a situation of "war of all against all," or we might say, every man for himself. Hobbes wrote:
- <em>In such condition, there is no place for industry; because the fruit thereof is uncertain: and consequently no culture of the earth; no navigation, nor use of the commodities that may be imported by sea; no commodious building; no instruments of moving, and removing, such things as require much force; no knowledge of the face of the earth; no account of time; no arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear, and danger of violent death; and the life of man, solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short.</em>
Seperation of powers because the king is separated the power so he would not be in total power
The missing powers of the branches of government can be solved by checks and balances.
The executive branch of government primarily includes the president and his cabinet. The legislative branch of government includes the Senate and the House of Representatives. Once a bill passes through the legislative branch, it has to pass through the president before it can become law. This is how the executive branch checks the power of the legislative branch. The president can veto and cancel any bill this way. The president’s veto can only be overridden by a two-thirds majority vote in both the House and the Senate. This has only happened 106 times out of 1,484 regular presidential vetoes. If the president neither signs a bill into law nor vetoes it, the bill becomes law automatically after 10 days without a signature.
The executive branch can also call special sessions of Congress in times of emergency. The president rarely uses this power, however, and the last time was when President Harry Truman used it on July 15, 1948. This power is a check on the legislative branch because it forces Congress to meet and deal with issues when they are not convened and/or when they are potentially even avoiding convening.
