Infra, ch. V. 8o SOVEREIGNTY CH. a Social Contract, but in the later Tractatus Politicus the contract falls into the background in such a way as to suggest that Spinoza recognized it to be a fiction. The compact to him is the State : it is not an act which stands outside the State and brings it into existence. It may be tacit as well as express ; it may be brought about by conquest as well as by agreement. The nature of the State is essentially the co-operation of the powers which contribute to... its formation, and the rights which they enjoy within it. Such co-operation enhances the powers of all the members, and the whole State deter- mines the direction in which the power of all shall be employed. -The State as a whole has absolute right over all the constituent members. Here Spinoza recognizes the legal aspect of Sovereignty ; and like Hobbes he understands that in principle it is unlimited. But the State is a natural being with a nature of its own, and like all other things it follows the laws of its own nature.
