A COMPERATIVE ANALYSIS OF THOMAS HOBBES AND JOHN LOCKE REGARDING THEIR UNDERSTANDING OF “SOVEREIGNTY”

The “sovereignty” idea is one of the phenomena which has significantly affected the theory of Western modern political science. The sovereignty idea which was set forth by Jean Bodin (1530-1596) in order to enable the ruler to set up the legitimacy of his absolute power has substantially affected al...
