Answer:

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. Once the people had given absolute power to the king, they had no right to revolt against him. Hobbes warned against the church meddling with the king's government.
