The SCs of Hobbes, Locke and Rousseau, accumulatively and individually, fail to justify the existence of the state, and therefore, nor do they ascribe meaningful consent to the citizens of the state in transitioning from the SoN to the state. Despite dissimilar perspectives on the ordination of rights, and the SoN, these perspectives converge unto an insistence that the state is necessary, yet this is shown not to be the case, and its implications do not provide any falsifiable mechanism by which to test the explainability, and therefore validity, of the theory, nor that its laws are consented-to.
