If the government doesn't protect the rights of the people, the people can rebel against it and choose a different government
john Locke wrote about natural rights and stated how everyone should have the rights of liberty, property, and life. He also wrote about how people are born with these natural rights which cannot be taken away.
Locke is also known for the theory of the social contract which states:
John Locke wanted everyone to have the "right to life, liberty, and property" which is used in the Declaration of Independence as the "right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." His ideas of the social contract, in which everyone in a society is accountable to one another, and the idea of governments deriving their power from the consent of the governed were both revolutionary concepts in 1776 that made their way into the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
he suggested the 3 branches of goverment, and a legislative contract and citizens
