Attitudes

Relation between sovereign and subject When establishing the contract social between the men, these start to have its freedom reduced and transferred to the sovereign. To this the duty fits to guarantee the peace, in exchange receives from the people the right to govern its interests according to. It is from that if they structuralize the relations of the sovereign with the subjects. The sovereign is at the same time legislator and judge. Legislator, because it is who produces the laws, with it I assist of ministers and council members chosen for the same, however, the decisions taken for them, depend on the approval of the sovereign, therefore it fits to the advice to only advise the decisions of the sovereign, however, not to decide. He is judge, as in the philosopher says to them, therefore.

it competes to the sovereignty being judge of which the opinions and doctrines that are contrary to the peace, and which the ones that it are you propitiate ‘ ‘ (HOBBES, p 148), that is, the decision power fits to the sovereign is of the referring actions to the peace, is the legal actions involving citizens. To the men such are guaranteed some freedoms as: ‘ ‘ freedom to buy to vender, or in another way to carry through mutual contracts; of each one to choose its residence, its feeding, its profession, and to instruct its similar children in agreement to find better, and things ‘ ‘ (HOBBES, p 173), however these freedoms must be granted by the sovereign, in case that it intervenes, the men cannot be opposed, since the attitudes of the sovereign must be recognized as attitudes of the citizens since these had granted it to be able total. This relation can be broken in case that it has resignation of the sovereign and if this not to indicate a successor in writing or in verbal word, occurring this, the man comes back toward its state of savagery where both were fought..
