Written in 1689, Locke's Two Treatises of Government disputes the
logic of the "divine right of kings," and proceeds to develop a
theory of society base on the ideas of natural rights and the
social contract. Locke acknowledged the necessity of the state, but
saw it primarily as a tool to promote the protection of people and
property, as well as for the restraint of violence. Based on the
consent of the governed, Locke's conception of government
highlights the importance of accountability between government and
citizen. This special edition also includes the text of the Magna
Charta - one of the foundations of English law, Locke's Letter
Concerning Toleration, and The Reasonableness of Christianity.
