By John Locke

Two Treatises of Government (1689) byJohn Locke is a foundational work of political philosophy that argues against absolute monarchy and in favor of individual rights and limited government.First Treatise Locke dismantlesRobert Filmer's theory of the divine right of kings which claimed that monarchs inherited absolute authority from Adam. Locke argues that political power cannot be justified by lineage or divine grant.Second Treatise Locke lays out his own theory of government:
    • State of nature: Humans are free equal and governed by natural law (reason).
    • Natural rights: Life liberty and property are inherent and must be protected.
    • Social contract: People consent to form governments to secure their rights.
    • Limited government: Political power must remain conditional accountable and based on the consent of the governed.
    • Right of revolution: If a government violates natural rights citizens may lawfully overthrow it.
Overall the work provides a philosophical basis for modern liberal democracy and strongly influenced later political thought including the American and French revolutions.
