Thomas Hobbes advocated that a commonwealth should be ruled by a sovereign authority, which could be a monarchy or an assembly, possessing absolute power. He believed that to escape the chaos of the state of nature, individuals must collectively agree to surrender their rights to this sovereign in exchange for security and order. This social contract forms the basis of his political philosophy, asserting that the sovereign's authority is necessary to maintain peace and prevent conflict. Hobbes argued that a strong, centralized power was essential to ensure the stability and safety of society.
