Answer 1

I've looked everywhere..

Answer 2

It's not Hobbs

Answer 3

My openion if open ended would be Montesquieu ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montesquieu#Political_views). If you had to pick someone from your list I would say Locke. Montesquieu's major fault is he beleived in aristocracy.

Answer 4

Out of everyone on your list John Locke is the most American in his views.

Answer 5

I would agree with @austinl. My own history book refers to John Locke many times for the American political and governmental system. Locke inspired many events as well.
