"Two Treatises of Government" is a political work by John Locke, published in 1689. The first treatise critiques the concept of the divine right of kings, arguing against the idea that monarchs derive their authority from God. Instead, Locke emphasizes the importance of natural rights and the social contract as the foundation of legitimate government. The second treatise outlines Locke's vision of a government that protects individual rights, including life, liberty, and property. He argues that governments are formed by the consent of the governed and must be accountable to the people. If a government fails to protect these rights, citizens have the right to revolt.
