Anthology: Exploring Ethics: An Introductory Anthology, 5th Edition

This is a shortened version of his theory: Thomas Hobbes's social contract theory proposes that individuals in a society agree to give up certain freedoms in exchange for protection and stability provided by a governing authority (a sovereign) with absolute power. This agreement, whether implicit or explicit, forms the basis of the state's legitimacy and authority over its citizens.

Again, I am just looking for a specific country that is a good example of his theory.

Thanks. I have a lot of experience with reading comprehension and note-taking, but I need an editor who is also kowlegable in philosophy. I have very limited experience with ChatGPT, but I will play with it a little more and see how it can help me edit essays.

I just finished pasting a section of a writing assignment into ChatGPT. It improved the language, but I'm not sure how it responds to content. What's your experience? If I explain a philosophical theory wrong for example, will it catch the mistake?

Thank you for responding. I didn't know ChatGPT could proofread.

Some of your comments concern moral authority. I think researching the Sola Scriptura debate would help clarify.
