Both shared common world views and some extreme views unfit for current times but were substantially great for their times.

Hobbes believed that being selfish and bad is people's nature so need for absolute monarch or authority is a must as it will keep people's behavior in check and establish societal peace and prosperity.

Locke had similar perspectives on nature of people and is well known for his ideas about rebellion and government's role. He viewed government as this entity which is in place to protect people's rights so if government doesn't do that people have right to overthrow it and make a new one.
