Answer:

A. Hobbes

Step-by-step explanation:

Thomas Hobbes, one of the modern political philosophies and one of the basic works of political theory and social contract theory. He advocated the idea of inherently bad human nature, unlike some later thinkers like Rousseau, which set him apart from them.

Hobbes was misunderstood by many of his contemporaries, and that remains largely the case today.

His ideas have often been misused as a veil to cover up or justify the illegal moves of modern dictators.
