Herbert Spencer.<\/p>\n<p>Herbert Spencer was an English philosopher, biologist, sociologist, and prominent classical liberal political theorist of the Victorian era. Spencer&#8217;s &#8220;survival of the fittest&#8221; concept was widely used by later thinkers, including social Darwinists, and was a driving force behind eugenics.<\/p>\n<p>Spencer&#8217;s statement &#8220;That Government is the best which governs least&#8221; is often used to support the idea of limited government. This idea holds that the government should only interfere in people&#8217;s lives to the extent necessary to protect their rights and liberties.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Harold Laski was a British political scientist and Labour Party politician.
