The correct answer to the question is option 1, Thomas Hobbes. Thomas Hobbes was a philosopher who advocated for the concept of absolute sovereign power of the Monarch. He believed that a strong central authority, in the form of an absolute monarch, was necessary to maintain order and prevent the chaos that would arise from a state of nature. Hobbes argued that people should surrender their individual rights to the ruler in exchange for protection and security. In his famous work called Leviathan, Hobbes elaborated on this concept and argued that the monarch`s power should be unlimited and not subject to any opposition or checks and balances. Hobbes` ideas about absolute sovereign power greatly influenced political thought and had a significant impact on the development of modern political systems.
