Brief Explanations

Thomas Hobbes was a philosopher who discussed social contract and ideas related to people's role in governance (though his views were more about a strong sovereign, but among the given options, he is the philosophical figure here related to political philosophy of people's say in context of Enlightenment - Andrew Johnson was a US president, not a philosopher of this context, and Immanuel Kant's focus was more on ethics and rationality, not direct people - centered governance systems in the same way as Hobbes' social contract framework which is relevant to people having a say in governance structure).
