Men are naturally self interested, yet they are rational.

In order to pursue their interests, men will submit to a Sovereign Authority in order to be able to live in a civil society.

If the Sovereign Authority fails to allow men to live in a civil society, then men should pursue a new Sovereign Authority.

OUR FEAR OF DEATH IS WHY WE MUST FORM SOCIETIES .

BECAUSE OF OUR FEAR OF DEATH, WE DESIRE TO HAVE SOCIAL ORDER.

POLITICAL LEGITIMACY DEPENDS ON PROTECTION; POLITICAL OBLIGATION ENDS WHEN PROTECTION CEASES.

IN ORDER FOR ORDER TO EXIST, SHOULD ONE BE WILLING TO HAND OVER POWER TO A CENTRAL AUTHORITY THAT HAS A RIGHT TO SEVERELY PUNISH LAWBREAKERS?

Yes, it mainly makes sense. While we don’t know why people revolted, the rebels endangered civilians around the entire country of Cuba. With that, Castro is just strictly “punishing the wrongdoers.”

No, it mainly doesn’t make sense. Putting the murderer on an island without fences could mean he might possibly escape and harm others. Where’s the “real” protection from death?

Yes, it mainly makes sense. This time the murderer, an apparent cannibal, is securely imprisoned so that others could be safe.

Yes, it mainly makes sense. If China diplomatically appeases North Korea, without using force, there is a greater probability that it can keep most its own citizens unharmed.

Yes, it mainly makes sense. With this situation, the safety of the people has been compromised, and they might attribute it to the drastic reduction in Defense funding. So, since the central authority seems to be failing its citizens’ safety, they naturally might rebel.
