The will of the people. The state has to have the consent from the people whom they rule.Thomas Hobbes proposed a theory of social contract. Hobbes contended that for society to remain in order during peacetime it was essential to adopt a social contract between the people and their Sovereign Authority. This theory he outlined in his work entitled 'The Leviathan'.Society would cede their natural rights and in return would receive the protection of the state. Hobbes argued that without such a social contract anarchy would ensue where every man had only their own self interest. Hobbes referred to this as the 'state of nature' and contended that life would be 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short'.The sovereign authority would control civil, military, judicial and powers of the church,. However this control was granted by the people to whom it would offer protection.
