Sovereignty, according to Abul Fazl, is a social contract.
According to him, the emperor should preserve his subjects' four essences: life (jan), property (mal), honour (namus), and faith (din), in exchange for obedience and a share of their resources.
Land revenue, according to Abul Fazl, is compensation of sovereignty since only by contributing land revenue to the government did they receive protection from the government. They were free to work on their fields as they pleased.
