I want to know the answer to the following question:
Who developed some of the fundamentals of European liberal thought?
All the background I'm provided with is that "Hobbes also developed some of the fundamentals of European liberal thought: the right of the individual; the natural equality of all men; the artificial character of the political order (which led to the later distinction between civil society and the state); the view that all legitimate political power must be "representative" and based on the consent of the people; and a liberal interpretation of law which leaves people free to do whatever the law does not explicitly forbid.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
