Answer:

Absolute Monarchy

Explanation: Thomas Hobbes believed and advocated throughout his career that people were unable/not moral enough to settle things through democracy. This was because his philosophy was that humans were naturally selfish. He believed that the only way to keep resolute and consistent governing was by having one ruler.

Thomas Hobbes was also the man who presented the idea of a 'social contract' which is giving up some of your liberties to the government in exchange for safety.

(Also, I don't know whether you intended to put answer choices, since your question starts with the word 'which', and that usually impies that it is multiple choice. If you did intend to, then I must inform you that you did not- either that or they just didn't show up for me).
