Thomas Hobbes contributed to the foundations of modern political thought, influencing the development of the U.S. government through his ideas on social contracts and the nature of human governance. His work, particularly "Leviathan," argued for a strong central authority to prevent chaos and ensure social order, which resonated with the framers of the Constitution.
