“People being…. by nature all free, equal, and independent, no one can be…. subjected to the political power of another without his own consent…. To protect natural rights governments are established…. Since people hope to keep their property by establishing a government, they will not want that government to destroy their objectives. When legislators try to destroy or take away the property of the people, or try to reduce them to slavery, they put themselves into a state of war with the people who can then refuse to obey the laws.” Why is the government established, according to Locke? What type of government does Locke describe? Under what circumstances can the people revolt?
