    Thomas Hobbes

    Explanation;

    -Hobbes believed that the only true and correct form of government was the absolute monarchy. He argued this most forcefully in his landmark work, Leviathan.

    -This belief stemmed from the central tenet of Hobbes' natural philosophy that human beings are, at their core, selfish creatures.
