ESSAY ON: Absolute Sovereignty Mao's Actions And Hobbes' Theories

Number of Pages 5

This research paper: 5 pages in length. Sovereignty, which has two distinct meanings, can be employed either as a way to protect or to destroy; when Hobbes identified "the savage state of nature and the evil human nature," he sought the protective quality of sovereignty as a way to shield the masses from "such barbaric and lawlessness…to be able to live in security, safety and peace" (Galal, 2009). Mao, by direct contrast, sought to use sovereignty as an omnipotent, controlling force that oppressed China rather than protected her. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
