當一大群人同意并契約時，就會成立一個共和國，每個人都與每個人達成共識，任何一個人或一群人被多數人授權，成為他們所有人的代表。
A commonwealth is said to be instituted when a multitude of men do agree， and covenant， every one， with every one， that to whatsoever man， or assembly of men， shall be given by the major part， the right to present the person of them all， that is to say， to be their representative.
