Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were two great Enlightenment thinkers that influenced political philosophy. One difference between these two philosophers is that <u>John Locke</u> believed that in order to live in a healthier society, people had to transfer some of their rights to a limited government in a "Social Contract." Under this contract, the government had to be elected and changed by the people whenever they deemed it necessary, and it also had to protect people's right to life, freedom, and property.
<u>Thomas Hobbes</u>, on the other hand, believed in establishing a social contract and promoted the idea that all individuals had to cede their natural rights to an absolute government in order to live in a better and orderly society, even meaning that people had to accept abuses (<em>The island scenario illustrates Hobbes' ideas).</em>

Answer
Hi,
<u>Correct answer option is B</u>
Unlike totalitarian government, authoritarian governments usually are run by a single individual.
Explanation
In an authoritarian government, a single ruler or a very small group of individuals have great powers in the political system. This system is normally headed by a dictator. In such governments, the focus is on order and control over the freedom of citizens because the people will have no voice in how the leader rules them. Common characteristics of authoritarian governments are; very little freedom to speech, no freedom of assembly without government approvals, and no freedom of movement of people. Example of regimes practicing this kind of political system are in Iran, China and Cuba.
Best Wishes!
