Question

Thomas Hobbes wrote a book called Leviathan that discussed

A.how people were entitled to certain natural rights

B.how people made a social contract and form a state to keep from destroying one another

C.how governments should be broken up into three separate branches

D.how awesome deep-sea creatures are.

Answer 1

I'm going to say A. because shortly after Charles was executed, an English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), wrote Leviathan, a defense of the absolute power of kings. ... Hobbes asserted that the people agreed among themselves to “lay down” their natural rights of equality and freedom and give absolute power to a sovereign.
