Second Treatise on Government
Book • 1980
In the 'Second Treatise of Government', Locke critiques the divine right of kings and argues for a more civilized society based on natural rights and contract theory.
He defines political power as the right to make laws for the protection and regulation of property, emphasizing that legitimate governments must have the consent of the people.
Locke also discusses the state of nature, the rise of property and civilization, and the right of revolution, advocating for a system with separate legislative, executive, and judicial powers to ensure the protection of life, liberty, and property.
