1 answer:

8 0

Well Thomas Hobbes and John Locke had a few key beliefs that where different. One was why was Government important, Hobbes believed it was supposed to protect us from ourselves while Locke believed that they were supposed to protect our belongings. Another was who had the Sovereignty. While Locke believed that was the people, Hobbes believed it was the monarch. Another was the argument of limited government, Hobbes believed that the government should have no limits and Locke believed they should. And the last key one was that of the right of revolution, meaning if the government went out of line the people could revolt and ‘start over’, Locke believed this to be true while Hobbes did not.

The did however agree on there is no such thing as Divine Right, which is that God gives the power of the throne, and the ‘State of Nature/War’ meaning that humans can and will be naturally violently times.
