John Locke's America vs Thomas Hobbe's America

[Donald Baker]

We all know that the Founding Fathers used Lockean ideological principles to justify their drive for independence from England, and that those same principles were incorporated into the Constitution as well.  But has America moved away from John Locke, and now embraced the "Leviathan" of Thomas Hobbes?  Primarily, I mean the concentration of governmental power and authority not based on any reliance or accountability to God as Locke once argued. Or is America morphing into something else entirely?  If so what?
