This would be still as great a liberty

Sec. 96.  For when any number of men have, by the consent of  every individual fake oakleys, made a community, they have thereby made that  community one body, with a power to act as one body, which is  only by the will and determination of the majority: for that  which acts any community, being only the consent of the  individuals of it, and it being necessary to that which is one  body to move one way; it is necessary the body should move that  way whither the greater force carries it, which is the consent of  the majority: or else it is impossible it should act or continue  one body, one community, which the consent of every individual  that united into it, agreed that it should; and so every one is  bound by that consent to be concluded by the majority.  And  therefore we see, that in assemblies, impowered to act by  positive laws, where no number is set by that positive law which  impowers them, the act of the majority passes for the act of the  whole, and of course determines, as having, by the law of nature  and reason, the power of the whole.        Sec. 97.  And thus every man, by consenting with others to  make one body politic under one government, puts himself under an  obligation, to every one of that society, to submit to the  determination of the majority, and to be concluded by it; or else  this original compact, whereby he with others incorporates into  one society, would signify nothing, and be no compact, if he be  left free, and under no other ties than he was in before in the  state of nature.  For what appearance would there be of any  compact? what new engagement if he were no farther tied by any  decrees of the society, than he himself thought fit, and did  actually consent to?  This would be still as great a liberty, as  he himself had before his compact, or any one else in the state  of nature hath, who may submit himself, and consent to any acts

of it if he thinks fit.        Sec. 98.  For if the consent of the majority shall not, in  reason, be received as the act of the whole, and conclude every  individual; nothing but the consent of every individual can make  any thing to be the act of the whole: but such a consent is next  to impossible ever to be had, if we consider the infirmities of  health, and avocations of business, which in a number fake oakley sunglasses, though  much less than that of a common-wealth, will necessarily keep  many away from the public assembly.  To which if we add the  variety of opinions, and contrariety of interests, which  unavoidably happen in all collections of men, the coming into  society upon such terms would be only like Cato's coming into the  theatre, only to go out again.  Such a constitution as this would  make the mighty Leviathan of a shorter duration, than the  feeblest creatures, and not let it outlast the day it was bom in:  which cannot be supposed, till we can think, that rational  creatures should desire and constitute societies only to be  dissolved: for where the majority cannot conclude the rest, there  they cannot act as one body, and consequently will be immediately  dissolved again.       Tunc enim se ipse principatu  exuit atque in privatis constituit liber: hoc modo populus &  superior efficitur, reverso ad eum sc.  jure illo quod ante regem  inauguratum in interregno habuit.   At sunt paucorum generum  commissa ejusmodi quae hunc effectum pariunt.  At ego cum plurima  animo perlustrem, duo tantum invenio, duos, inquam, casus quibus  rex ipso facto ex rege non regem se facit & omni honore &  dignitate regali atque in subditos potestate destituit; quorum  etiam meminit Winzerus.  Horum unus est, Si regnum disperdat,  quemadmodum de Nerone fertur, quod is nempe senatum populumque  Romanum, atque adeo urbem ipsam ferro flammaque vastare, ac novas  sibi sedes quaerere decrevisset.  Et de Caligula, quod palam  denunciarit se neque civem neque principem senatui amplius fore replica oakley sunglasses,  inque animo habuerit interempto utriusque ordinis electissimo  quoque Alexandriam commigrare, ac ut populum uno ictu  interimeret, unam ei cervicem optavit.  Talia cum rex aliquis  meditator & molitur serio, omnem regnandi curam & animum ilico  abjicit, ac proinde imperium in subditos amittit, ut dominus  servi pro derelicto habiti dominium.      Sec. 236.  Alter casus est, Si rex in alicujus clientelam se  contulit, ac regnum quod liberum a majoribus & populo traditum  accepit, alienae ditioni mancipavit.  Nam tunc quamvis forte non  ea mente id agit populo plane ut incommodet: tamen quia quod  praecipuum est regiae dignitatis amifit, ut summus scilicet in  regno secundum Deum sit, & solo Deo inferior, atque populum etiam  totum ignorantem vel invitum, cujus libertatem sartam & tectam  conservare debuit, in alterius gentis ditionem & potestatem  dedidit; hac velut quadam regni ab alienatione effecit, ut nec  quod ipse in regno imperium habuit retineat, nec in eum cui  collatum voluit, juris quicquam transferat; atque ita eo facto  liberum jam & suae potestatis populum relinquit, cujus rei  exemplum unum annales Scotici suppeditant.   Barclay contra  Monarchom. 1. iii. c. 16.
