“Justice and injustice are none of the faculties neither of body, nor mind.”  Explanation - In a place where there is no society, justice doesn't exist. (justice exists as part of society so that people can leave together as fairly as possible and in an attempt to prevent crime. Without society there is no such thing as property, and so you basically have what you can hold onto, if someone stronger comes along they have it, and you have nothing. No one cares about anybody else but themselves and what they can have, so there is no law to help you, as law is a part of society which according to Hobbes didn't come about until man adopted the Social Contract.

Thomas Hobbes left an everlasting influence on political thought. His idea of people being selfish and brutal and his thoughts on the role of government led to more investigations such as by John Locke. After the Revolution, his ideas also influenced federalists in arguments to adopt the Constitution. He thought that all people should have equal rights and nobody should have more power over anyone else,(besides the King, who should have absolute power). Due to Hobbes' ideas, they saw that people cannot survive without a strong central government that would protect them.
