William Blackstone was a jurist who was the first man to make a commentary on the English Laws. This book of his was known as "The Commentaries on the Law of England." His books were known to target men who did not have an understanding of law jargon which is why he used very easy to understand phrases. He also wrote quite extreme opinions of his views on the law. Aside from that, he was also known to have written a commentary on the Magna Carta as well. Many revolutionary movement leaders cited this man as a source or reference.

Dominik [7]

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.
