What are John Locke’s arguments in the Second Treatise on Civil Government
Locke argued that humans, in the state of nature, were born equal and that they possessed natural rights that no king had the power to void. The consent of the governed is the only true basis of a king or sovereign’s right to rule. Therefore, a chief executive, according to Locke, is limited by this social contract with the governed.
