Hello. You did not submit the passage this question refers to, which makes it impossible for it to be answered. However, when searching for your question on the internet, I was able to find a question like yours where it featured a passage from the book "Leviathan." If that's the case for you, I hope the answer below will help you.
Answer and Explanation:
A. The passage portrays how the sovereign of a region is not subject to civil laws, as he is the only one who has the power to revoke them, which allows him to be free to do as he pleases. A historical situation that motivated him to write this was the existence of manipulations in the laws of England brought about by the monarchy and the commonwealth sovereigns.
B. A broader historical development that inspired Hobbes was the existence of an absolutist monarchy that gave kings and queens full control of all civil, political, and social laws and elements.
Cause is what happens and effect is the result of that action
