Answer 1

C: In Jack Hobbes' view of an ideal government the sovereign has absolute power and is accountable to no one while in Locke's system the executive is subject to checks and balances.

Step-by-step explanation:

while Jack Hobbes argued for the equality for all humans in principle he upheld the sovereignty of a single ruler as the best way of governance and granted absolute power to the same. John Locke on the other hand came up with a system of checks and balance that are a precursor to the modern democratic system.

Locke's system the executive has administrative powers but is accountable on the teInrms of the said administration the legislatures as well as the aristocracy, much like the modern British parliamentary system.
