Explanation

The English Civil War ended in 1651. Thomas Hobbes published Leviathan in 1651, and John Locke developed contrasting ideas about government later in the 17th century. Montesquieu published The Spirit of the Laws in 1748, followed by Rousseau’s The Social Contract in 1762. So the correct sequence is the English Civil War’s end, Locke’s ideas, Montesquieu’s publication, and Rousseau’s publication: choice C.
