Answer 1

Answer: A. Locke's interpretation focused on the protection of individual rights

Step-by-step explanation:

Hobbes believed in absolute monarchy, that the government should rule over everything because humans were selfish and would only act in their own self-interest.

Locke believed that humans deserved basic rights protected by the government, and that the government should only serve to protect those rights.
