   Cited alongside the Leviathan as an authoritative early source for the analysis of Government and Sovereignty.

   On the other hand, in the Leviathan of Hobbes and in the Chapter De Cive in his Treatise first published in Latin, called the Elementa Philosophiæ, the analysis of Government and Society and the determination of Sovereignty are so nearly completed that little could be added to them by Bentham and Austin.

   ch. 9 · ch. 12
