English commentary: "The subject is defined by his obedience. One might wonder therefore if the subject is able to resist the sovereign. This paper first analyzes Hobbes’s conception of the subject, who must give up the right to resist. It then studies two concepts—subditus and subjectum—and their links in Spinoza’s philosophy to demonstrate that, on the contrary, the status of the subject does not imply giving up the right to resist."
