Authoritarianism
Thomas Hobbes wrote the book Leviathan.
Thomas Hobbes was a monarchist who believed absolute power in the hands of a king or queen was the best form of government. He believed the only way manâ??s natural nastiness could be held in check was if there was a strong monarch in charge.
Hobbes argued that because the "general will" of the people was for freedom, the people as a whole should force individual citizens to conform to the general will.
