Research questions: what are the conditions under which various social contracts can be dissolved? Can Hobbes' contract be dissolved by the people if security cannot be guaranteed by the government?
Another thought - how to understand movements towards a seemingly Hobbesian social contract in the past decade? Is the plaintive defense of Bush administration actions "They kept us safe"/"They were trying to keep us safe" a move towards viewing a state through a more Hobbesian lens?
