According to Hobbes in Leviathan, written in 1651, if man is not governed by an absolute monarch, his life will become “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish and short.” This means that without an absolute ruler life would be total anarchy. According to the “English Bill of Rights” which was written by Parliament in England in 1688, “...Parliaments ought to be held frequently...” This means that the kings of England will have to meet with Parliament regularly. Therefore, the kings of England were no longer able to become absolute rulers. So, the ideas of Hobbes in Leviathan were not supported in the “English Bill of Rights” because it limited the power of kings. • E - 1 = According to Locke in his Two Treatises on Government written in 1690, “no one can be subjected to the political power of another without his own consent.” He goes on to say that “absolute monarchy is inconsistent with civil society.” This means that governments receive their power from the people so absolutism is wrong.
