Explanation:

For the first question: Thomas Hobbes argued in Leviathan that humans need an absolute, centralized authority (a sovereign with unlimited power) to control humanity's naturally violent, self-interested state. A dictator could use this theory to justify absolute rule as necessary for stability. Locke and Rousseau supported more limited or collective forms of governance incompatible with dictatorship.
For the second question: Hobbes, Locke, and Rousseau all developed versions of the social contract theory. Hobbes framed it as giving up liberty to an absolute sovereign for safety; Locke focused on surrendering some rights to a government that protects natural rights; Rousseau centered on the collective will of the people forming a sovereign community. All tied giving up some independence to group cooperation/security.

Answer:

First question: Hobbes
Second question: All of the above
