Question

Which statement describes a common belief of philosophers Thomas Hobbes and John Locke

Answer 1

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were two political philosophers of 17th century England who tried to give an explanation about the origin of government. They both reacted against the Divine Hereditary Right of monarchs and developed a theory that maintained that civil governments were the result of a social contract, thus, governments were an affair purely of this world and not something established by divine authority.
