Question

which idea would thomas hobbes support?
the government should have absolute power over the people.
the people should never have to give up any of their rights.
the people should work with leaders to determine limits on rights.
the government should have little to no control over the people.

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes believed in a strong, absolute government (like a Leviathan) to maintain order, as he thought the state of nature was chaotic. He argued people should cede rights to a sovereign with absolute power. The other options go against his views: he didn’t think people keep all rights, nor collaborate with leaders on rights limits, nor support minimal government control.

Answer:

A. The government should have absolute power over the people.
