This study traces the decline of marriage as a metaphor for political authority, subjection, and tyranny in seventeenth-century political thought. An image that bound consent and contract with divine right absolutism, and irrevocably connected royal prerogatives with subjects' liberties, its disappearance in the middle decades of the century coincided with the full emergence of patriarchalist and social contract theories. If both these accepted the importance of "fathers of families," neither would suggest that political government could be comparable to "marriage."
