Abstract
" legal entity ". In Hobbes, the State becomes "fictive " that is human, secularized and instituted, but real in that men obey what they have created. Both the precursor of a government of the people (of which revolutionary France would proclaim the existence), and a pure mode! of power, the Leviathan should be part of any reflexion on modem politics and post 1789 democracy. The positive and negative links between Hobbes and English political thought of his tirne through this theory of sovereignty as "fictive person" of the people remain to be shown.Keywords
