Thomas Hobbes's Argument For Monarchy

the kings interests are tied to the peoples so long as he is of those people(looking at you William the Bastard, its your fault we are in this mess)

the king can be advised in private and is less susceptible to being swayed by emotional displays, which work so well on groups

a king can choose and stick to long term, lifetime plans, rather than plans being at mercy to the whims of an ever changing assembly

a king cant disagree with himself out of envy or jealousy

only so many flatterers can exert influence over a king whereas an assembly can be influenced by thousands of different interests pulling in a thousand different directions

an assembly is the equivalent of being burdened with hundreds of regents jockeying for power while "representing an infant king who will never be of age"
