Thomas Hobbes and John Locke

Most especially the American founding fathers looked to the ideas of John Locke.  Thomas Hobbes had pointed to the social contract as the source of a government's authority, but his argument in <em>Leviathan </em>(1651) still supported a strong monarch style of government for the sake of a country's security and stability.  Locke's arguments in his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government </em>(1689) were more focused on the authority of majority voting in a society and republican government through legislatures.
