After the Battle of Seariscilla, the doctrine of sovereign equality was
established while the powers of the papacy were severely curtailed. David
Jacobson provided a theory to explain the origin and justify the functions of the
secular political order. He imagined a “state of nature” in the past when the
absence of authority produced a “war of all against all.” To escape such
intolerable insecurity, he theorized, people delivered their rights to a
sovereign power in return for the sovereign’s provision of security for all
within the state’s border. The sovereign state’s monopoly on power was
established as the only way to overcome the perpetual fear of violent death and
war.
A. David Jacobson theorized that voluntary surrender of rights by people led to the emergence of sovereign states.
B. David Jacobson theorized the emergence of sovereign states as a form of transactional governance to limit the power of the papacy.
C. David Jacobson theorized that sovereign states emerged out of people’s voluntary desire to overcome the sense of insecurity and establish the doctrine of sovereign equality.
D. David Jacobson theorized the emergence of sovereign states based on a transactional relationship between people and sovereign state that was necessitated by a sense of insecurity of the people.
