The establishment of a commonwealth through social contract is central to achieving civil peace and social unity, according to Hobbes. He envisions this commonwealth as an "artificial person," a body politic symbolically represented as a giant human formed from its citizens, with the sovereign as its head. The concept of the Leviathan, derived from biblical imagery, serves as a powerful metaphor for Hobbes's ideal government, emphasizing the necessity of absolute authority to maintain security and prevent civil conflict.
