Hobbes View

Brendan, I understand what you mean but I kind of disagree. I think what Hobbes means is that those five reasons are the reasons people are naturally dangerous without laws and government not why it is impossible to have everyone united under one leader. I think those reasons are what the Leviathan has to control with the power given to him by the people. Hobbes believes that those are the reasons why people are naturally dangerous and that the only way to govern people so that they are not dangerous is under one leader (the Leviathan) with total power given to him by the people.
