"Rational (Hobbesian) citizens will accept the rule of the sovereign in part out of fear of its power but primarily because they understand the foundations of its authority and the disastrous consequences of its dissolution." (emphasis added)

--Michael C. Williams, "Hobbes and International Relations: A Reconsideration", International Organization, Vol. 50, No. 2 (Spring 1996), pp. 220
