In \u003cstrong\u003eSecond Treatise of Government\u003c\/strong\u003e, John Locke reimagines society as a pact where individuals, born with natural rights to life, liberty, and property, unite to form governments that serve them. He argues that political authority is not granted by divine right or force but must rest on the consent of the governed. Rejecting the tyranny of absolute monarchy, Locke lays out a radical vision of government bound by duty to protect rights, while affirming the people's power to resist and overthrow unjust rulers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFew works have altered the course of history as profoundly as Locke's \u003cstrong\u003eSecond Treatise of Government\u003c\/strong\u003e. Written amid political upheaval in the late 17th century, it redefined the relationship between rulers and citizens, offering principles that became the foundation of modern democracy. Its arguments for consent, natural rights, and justified rebellion inspired the American and French Revolutions and continue to shape political thought worldwide. More than a historical document, it remains a timeless call for freedom, justice, and accountability in governance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Locke\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1834123755\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781834123752\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Grand Type Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.41lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.94d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"John Locke","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47931226390783,"sku":"9781834123752","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_18667efc-9131-4f3e-a377-a5f6f0bbd840.jpg?v=1766347313","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/large-print-second-treatise-john-locke-9781834123752","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
