Whose Leviathan?
Three of the five men pictured in the first portrait — Washington, Jefferson, and Randolph — exercised absolute personal tyranny over more than 1,000 of their fellow human beings, and politically supported the system that extended that tyranny over some millions of their fellow Southerners. As far as I know, none of the men pictured in the second portrait hold slaves or support slavery.
Might it be the case that Leviathan has distinctly grown for some groups of people, but that it has also distinctly shrunk for others?
Anticopyright.
