thomas hobbes

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the political philosophies of John Locke and Thomas Hobbes:

• John Locke: Advocated for limited government, natural rights, and popular sovereignty, supporting democratic - leaning governance (social contract with consent of the governed) and had a positive view of human nature (people can reason, form societies). So he would be more likely to support democratic governments and have a positive attitude towards man.
• Thomas Hobbes: Believed in a strong, absolute sovereign (like absolute monarchs) to control human nature, which he viewed negatively (people are selfish, violent in state of nature). So he would support absolute monarchs and have a negative attitude towards man.
