Episode 12 is an account of Locke's theory about the origin of political or civil society. He argues that political society is inevitable because the natural right to punish offenders of the law of nature ultimately leads to (what Hobbes calls) "a war of all against all." Locke also argues that absolute monarchy does not qualify as a political society because the relationship Locke describes between the monarch and all others makes political society a logical impossibility.
