According to Hobbes, king is autocratic. He can use his enormous power as per his whims and fancies. Hobbes does not provide any right of rebellion to any person or people against the king or the state. And as such, the people are bound to follow king’s order. The order of the king is law, but people have right of self-defense in the state. If, by any order of king or the state, there is a danger to life, then the person can revolt against the state. Because of having provided the recognition to this right of revolt, Hobbes is individualistic, despite being autocratic.
