Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing you need to understand is that Hobbes lived in a time where England was at war with itself (Civil War).
The second thing you need to know is that in the opinion of the current parliament, the war with Spain and the unrest with France was expensive and, I think avoidable.
Hobbes maintained that civil war was rooted in a difference of opinion that could not be resolved by the common citizen. He argued that ordinary people were not trained will enough to make a decision. Democracy was a failed form of government: the common people could be swayed by anyone.
