Document Summary
Natural person speaks and acts for themselves and an artificial person represents the words and acts of another. Hobbes says if one person represents the words and acts of another, the words still come from the original author. You as an author give your authority, to give authority to do something. To authorize something it has oto go through the chain of command, Hobbbes makes a new basis of authority, man creates an artificial god, links to machiavelli and the renaiccance of europe and making humans given the opportunity to make their own meaning and source of politics outside of god. Contract is an agreement to do something right now. The covenant is an agreement for the future, the covenant is an agreement we make with each other as a promise to. Covenant is an agreement for the authorization we are bound by the covenenats of our authority from the past.
