The most famous work of John Locke is, perhaps, the Two Treatises of Government (1689), in which he claimed that men are by nature free and equal, but with the purpose to interact in a healthy society, it was necessary that they transferred some of their rights, not all of them, to a government, through a social contract.

Under this contract, such government had to be elected by the people and changed by the people; it had to be divided into legislative and executive powers and had to make decisions that benefited the citizens and that protected their natural and inalienable rights of life, liberty, and property and whenever it failed to do so, it was people's duty to rebel and replace the government.
