Os the beginning of Political Societies.
Men being, ns has been Lid, b\

ent, no one can be put out of this
diate, and subj cud to the political
power of cinothtr, without his own
conlent. The only way whereby ny
one divests hunfelf of his natural !i.

tmotuj in and unite into a commu
nity, for their comloitable, lase and
peact-able living one amouglt another,

number ol men may do, hecaufe it
i jines not the freed< nt of the red ;
• b y are left as they wete in the liber
iy of the iiate of naiure. When any
number of men h;..vc !o consented to
thiike one community on government,
tliey *re thereby prefcntly incorpoiat
ed, and make one body politic, where
in the majority have a right to act and
conclude the rejl.
For when any number of men have,
by the confcnt of every individual,
made a community, they have there
by made that community one baby,
with a power to act as one body,
which is only by the will and deter
mmation of die majority; for that
which acts on any community, being
only the confc nt of the individuals cf
it, and it being necjessaiy to that which
is one body to tr-ove one way; it is
necessary the body should move that
way whether the greater force carries
it, which b the cohfent of the ra j.-ri
tv : or t lfe it js impossible that it
filould act or continue < ne body, one
(ommu'Yy, which the confcnt oi
very individual that united into it,
agreed that it should ; and so every
one is bou and by that confcnt to be
concluded by the majority. And
thereto:c, v/c fee, ihai in assemblies,
empowered to act by positive l*w>
where no number is let by that post
ivc Lw which tmpowrrs them, the
act ot the n.ajori y p. lfes for the act
of the whole, and ol course determines,
as having, by the law of nature anu
reason, the powtTof the whole.
And thus cvety man, by confirm
ing with others to m. ke one bo Jy po

of that jociety. to subm i to the deter,
mmation of the majority , and to be con

pace, whereby he wiih oihirs incor
porates into one focicty, would sig
utfy nothing, and be no compact, if
he be left free, and under no othet
ties than he was itr before in the Hate
of nature.
For if the consent of the majority
Olall not, in reason, be received as
the act of the whole, and conclude
eve ry individual, nothing but the con
tent of every individual can maki a f
thing to be the act ol the whole ; but
such a confcnt is next to impossible
ever to be had, if we consider the
infirmities of health and avocations of
business which in a number, though
much left than that of a Common
wealth, will necessarily keep many
away Irons the public affcmbly. lo
