PSYCHOLOGY OF EMOTIONS

Detailed explanation-1: -Thomas Hobbes believed in one ruler (a monarch) because he said people were naturally brutish and selfish. John Locke further developed the Social Theory and said that if government does live up to what it is suppose to do, people have the right to abolish it.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hobbes believed that a government headed by a king was the best form that the sovereign could take. Placing all power in the hands of a king, Hobbes argued, would mean more sure and consistent exercise of political authority.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thomas Hobbes believes that humans have no moral compass unless there are predetermined rules to say what actions are good or bad. There is no morality in the state of nature. There is no contract without an absolute power to enforce it.

Detailed explanation-4: -The English philosopher, Thomas Hobbes, wrote in the 1600s that a powerful monarch, or king or queen, was the best way to unify a nation. Hobbes believed that kings were justified in assuming absolute power because only they could maintain order in a society.

Detailed explanation-5: -Hobbes borrowed a concept from English contract law: an implied agreement. Hobbes asserted that the people agreed among themselves to “lay down” their natural rights of equality and freedom and give absolute power to a sovereign.
