Hobbes clearly decline the idea of Separation of Powers, in particular the form that would later become the separation. Part 6 is a perhaps under-emphasized feature of Hobbes's argument his is explicitly in favors of censorship of the press and restrictions on the rights of free speech. They should be considered desirable by the sovereign in order to promote order.
Upon closer inspection of Hobbes' Leviathan, it becomes clear that Hobbes believed individual people in society must give up liberty to a sovereign. Whether that sovereign is an absolute monarch or other form was left open to debate, however Hobbes himself viewed the absolute monarch as the best of all options. “Hobbes himself said.”
