John Locke used the claim that men are naturally free and equal as part of the justification for understanding legitimate political government as the result of a social contract where people in the state of nature conditionally transfer some of their rights to the government in order to better ensure the stable, comfortable enjoyment of their lives, liberty, and property. Since governments exist by the consent of the people in order to protect the rights of the people and promote the public good, governments that fail to do so can be resisted and replaced with new governments. —Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy

What conclusion about Locke's theory of government can be drawn from the passage?
Governments exist to control the behavior of the people of a society.
Governments that deny the public good must be obeyed to ensure stability.
People transfer some rights to government to protect their life and liberty.
