In this, the second of his Two Treatises of Government, John Locke
examines humankind's transition from its original state of nature
to a civil society. According to Locke, legitimate government
arises to enforce the natural law and the property rights of
individuals; when a government fails to do this, or attempts to
exert powers beyond those granted by the people, revolution is
justified. One can see the lasting influence of Locke's ideas
through their familiarity to the modern reader - the roots of
classical liberalism are here, and the arguments presented in this
text have relevance to any modern student of political theory. The
introduction and annotations included in this edition are intended
to contextualize the work and prevent misunderstanding, without
advancing any particular scholarly interpretation or merely
summarizing Locke's arguments. This edition has its origin in the
acclaimed Broadview Anthology of Social and Political Thought and
adheres to the anthology's format and high standards of accuracy
and accessibility.
