Human Nature
I agree with Hobbs in all the points he made in his writing "Of Commonwealth". I must also agree with Will's point of how everyone has that sense of having a greater idea over the government, and or any other authority. I understand that based off of Hobbs's work, humans must have enforced law to function. For many people this system of government in the U.S. works, but there are still many people who break laws everyday without much concern for the consequences of their poor decision. This may fall under the idea of humans having no fear, and because of it they are not frightened by the laws put into motion. Hobbs was correct in the sense that people are bad, but in the current world it seems that not even a government form of Leviathan can keep people from breaking laws.
