So Hobbes believed that human beings, because they couldn't be trusted, would basically have a social contract with a government that would be able to keep us safe from each other. And this would lead him to support absolute monarchism. Because the people give their power, their freedom in a sense, over to the king. So the king can have armies to protect them from invasion from each other. That's Thomas Hobbes. After Thomas Hobbes, we get his contender, the guy in the ring that doesn't like that idea, through John Locke. And John Locke writes that he agrees there's a social contract.
