Hobbes believed that human beings naturally desire the power to live well and that they will never be satisfied with the power they have without acquiring more power.

Social contract, in political philosophy, an actual or hypothetical compact, or agreement, between the ruled and their rulers, defining the rights and duties of each.

Hobbes promoted that monarchy is the best form of government and the only one that can guarantee peace.
