1. According to Thomas Hobbes, at the beginning men were living in the state of nature before they decided to shift and lived in the Commonwealth.
2. In the state of nature, men were constantly invading and causing violence to each other. Even the strongest man could not run away from this, as he would be weak when he has to face a number of men united together.
3. In that condition of endless invasion and violence men were said to be under the condition of war. This is because there was no common power to put them in fear.
4. Finally came Commonwealth. The Government was created to put an end to the condition of war.
5. What about the international community, are we still living in the condition of war?
