john Locke's ideas emphasized the importance of representative government and the consent of the governed. Colonists looked to their legislatures for leadership because they saw them as representatives chosen by the people, in line with Locke's notion of government by consent and the protection of individual rights. This contrasted with the colony's governor, who was often appointed by the British Crown and seen as less accountable to the colonists.
