None of the statements is correct about Hobbes. Thomas Hobbes argued for a strong, even absolute, sovereign and believed people give up many rights to that ruler to avoid chaos; he did not justify revolution. The American Revolution was inspired more by John Locke’s ideas about natural rights (life, liberty, property) and the right to overthrow a government that violates the social contract.
