Absolute monarch designates that the king has unchecked power over his subjects.

Sommerville, (1992) in his book stated that agreement establishes three forms of authority. The

that ensures the more persistent and consistent exercise of authority, consequently avoiding "the

war of all against all."

emotions that operate according to effected chains, reaction, action, and physical laws (Bobier,

maintaining consistent functionality.

principle, adjust arising disputes, and be in charge of all churches. According to Hobbes, this is
