Quizplus · Accepted Answer

One of the major differences between Hobbes and Locke was their views on the relationship between the ruler and the ruled. Hobbes believed that the social contract required that individuals give up their rights in exchange for protection from the sovereign; in this view, the ruled had no right to rebel against the sovereign because doing so would violate the terms of the contract. Locke, on the other hand, believed that the social contract required that the ruler be bound by certain limitations and that the ruled had the right to rebel against a ruler who violated those limitations. Therefore, C is the best choice because Hobbes believed that the ruled have no right to rebel against the sovereign, which contrasts with Locke's view.
