Explanation
★In order of publication the sequence is Leviathan, Two Treatises on Civil Government, Social Contract, and The Province of Jurisprudence Determined, so the answer is 4, 3, 2, 1.
★Hobbes's Leviathan, published in 1651, is the earliest of the four.
★Locke's Two Treatises on Civil Government followed in 1689, defending consent and natural rights.
★Rousseau's Social Contract appeared in 1762, with its doctrine of the general will.
★John Austin's The Province of Jurisprudence Determined came last in 1832, founding analytical jurisprudence.
★The chronological ladder thus runs Hobbes, Locke, Rousseau, and Austin across nearly two centuries.
