Which enlightenment theorist argued that the state needed absolute power to control citizens

Thomas Hobbes

Explanation:

Thomas Hobbes did not believe in the universal morality of human nature. He found that the sovereign rulership is needed to serve as a compass to people and mutual gain – the people are cut from some individual liberties in order to have security and guidance.

Sovereignty may be reflected in one person or group, but they have to complete their tasks, maintain peace, and fulfill human natural requirements. They have to create the balance and protect people from foreign invaders, as well as for each other, and act upon the idea of the highest good for all.
