Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Hobbes theory of Social Contract supports absolute sovereign without giving any value to individuals, while Locke and Rousseau supports individual than the state or the government. ... He rules out a representative form of government. But, Locke does not make any such distinction. Locke also believed in social contract theory, yet, whereas Hobbes believed the monarch gained unlimited power once that initial contract was implicitly recognized, Locke claimed the social contract between a monarch and his subjects was supposed to be continuously scrutinized. Hobbes argued for royal absolutism, while Locke argued for constitutionalism. overthrown, while Locke believed that if the social contract is violated, the governed have the right to overthrow the government. Hobbes backed the king, while Locke backed Parliament in the English Civil War.
