In the absence of political order and law, everyone would have unlimited natural freedoms, including the "right to all things" and thus the freedom to plunder, rape and murder; there would be an endless "war of all against all" (bellum omnium contra omnes).
沒有政治秩序和法律，我們將生活在自然狀態下，每個人都有無限的自然自由，包括“所有事物的權利”，從而可自由掠奪、強姦和謀殺，將有無止境的“一切對一切的戰爭“（bellum omnium contra omnes）。
