the social contract theory.
True
John Locke's social contract theory posits that individuals enter into a social contract with a government to protect their natural rights to life, liberty, and property. According to Locke, if a government fails to uphold its end of the contract by violating these rights, individuals have the right to revolt and establish a new government. This theory influenced the development of modern democratic governance.

John Locke's writings, particularly his theories on natural rights and government by consent, significantly influenced American colonists during the 17th and 18th centuries. His belief that individuals possess inherent rights to life, liberty, and property resonated with colonists who felt oppressed by British rule. Locke's ideas encouraged the notion of a social contract, promoting the idea that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, which laid the philosophical groundwork for the American Revolution and the development of democratic principles.
