Hobbes View

I agree with Marcus. We can't elect one leader without controversy because of the reasons we can't live in the true state of society. Hobbes contradicts himself here where he says, " very many think themselves wiser, and able to govern the publics better, than the rest". If that is true and the Leviathan is human, how is it possible? He would have to be unanimously elected by the people and that is impossible because of what Hobbes states in those six paragraphs. We could elect someone but there would be controversy would exist because we have free will, voice, and reason.
