What You Can't Sign Away Is Your Tendency to Defend Yourself

Mark Riten: The one place in this reading where he does talk about the sovereign is in the case of rebellion. But there is still this tension. We can produce an inconsistency in tobb's picture as long as he doesn't go so far, again, as to actually murder you - which is a pretty big concession. I think, to sovereign can accept themurderi es, you can't sign away. It's inalienable in the sense that you can't say, give me three apples and and you can kill me after i eat the apples.
