"For the prosperity of a people ruled by an aristocratical or democratical assembly cometh not from aristocracy, nor from democracy, but from the obedience and concord of the subjects; nor do the people flourish in a monarchy because one man has the right to rule them, but because they obey him."
—Leviathan, Thomas Hobbes
(Chap. xxx Of the Office of the Sovereign Representative [7])
