Which form of government did hobbes think could best maintain social order?

a)aristocracy

b)oligarchy

c)constitutional monarchy

d)absolute monarchy

The right answer is d: absolute monarchy.

Thomas Hobbes believed a sovereign entity must be in charge of controlling everything from military, civil and judicial powers to even people's faith and freedom of speech.
