CEVAP:

The realm of freedom, according to Hobbes, seems to depend on the legitimacy of the sovereign, and on the individual. Since all the consenting parties are basically equal, all legitimate actions of the sovereign have to be applied to each and every member of the political community. Covenants, sovereigns or laws cannot negate the natural rights of an individual, i.e. right to self-preservation and right to life. Self-preservation phase becomes relevant when the sovereign cannot preserve peace and apply the covenant. All citizens are free to defend themselves even against the legal authority. In this sense, Hobbes bestows the right of resistance to the state.
