Answer 1

The best comparison between Hobbes's and Locke's perspectives on the divine right of kings is:

Hobbes supported the divine right of kings as absolute monarchs.

Hobbes believed that a strong, centralized authority (often manifesting as an absolute monarchy) was necessary to maintain order and prevent the chaos of a natural state. In contrast, Locke was more skeptical of absolute power and advocated for governmental authority derived from the consent of the governed, thus opposing the divine right of kings.
