The statement that correctly analyzes how Enlightenment thinker Thomas Hobbes’s ideas impacted the American Revolution is:
**Colonists felt that their agreement with the king had been broken when he violated their rights.**
While Hobbes is primarily known for his views on the social contract and the necessity of a strong central authority, his ideas influenced the broader Enlightenment context in which the colonists were thinking about governance and their relationship with authority. The notion of a social contract implies that the legitimacy of the ruler is contingent on the protection of the people's rights, and when those rights are violated, the people have grounds to revolt.
