How did the English Civil War and Glorious Revolution influence Locke's and Hobbes' philosophies?

In 1649, the execution of King Charles I ended the English Civil War. The war was centered around whether the dominant form of authority in England would be the Parliament or King Charles I. After the king’s execution, Thomas Hobbes defended the absolute power of kings in his book entitled The Leviathan. Hobbes compared a leviathan, a mythological sea monster, to the government because it represented his views of how a government should be able to have absolute power over the people. He wanted the king to be the supreme form of power in England.

As a Protestant, John Locke supported the Protestant Parliament against the Catholic King James II in the Glorious Revolution of 1685. The revolution resulted in the Parliament becoming the principal authority in England and weakened the king’s power. Locke did not want the king to have absolute power, and instead preferred the Parliament. According to Locke, the executive and courts would be under the control of the law-making legislature of England, which was the Parliament.
