Well, as you know Leviathan is a biblical monster, symbolizing the power of matter and the dominion of nature that degrades man. Hobbes uses this biblical image symbolically to describe the power of the state as sovereign over the individual (state power as "mortal God"). And he writes writes that the chaos or civil war can only be avoided by strong central government. In this way he denies the right to rebellion to the public contract. But Hobbes takes into account the possible breakdown of the state. While the social contract was made to establish a state that provides "peace and protection" to the people, the treaty would be meaningless if the government did not protect its citizens. In such a case, the person would automatically return to his natural state until the creation of a new public contract.
