"Second Treatise of Government" by John Locke, published in 1689, presents a transformative view of political philosophy during England's revolutionary period. Advocating for natural rights and government by consent, Locke challenges the divine authority of monarchies, arguing that legitimate power derives from the people. This influential work, rooted in Locke's own experiences with conspiracy and exile, became a cornerstone of liberal political theory, yet he never openly acknowledged his authorship.
