John Locke
John Locke argued that the natural laws of society included a right of revolution. In his work, particularly in "Two Treatises of Government," Locke asserted that if a government fails to protect the natural rights of its citizens—namely life, liberty, and property—the people have the right to overthrow that government. This idea significantly influenced Enlightenment thought and the development of democratic principles.

people have natural rights; life, liberty, and property.
John Locke proposed that in the state of nature, individuals might face a lack of security and protection of their natural rights, leading to conflict and potential harm. To avoid this, Locke argued for the establishment of civil society and a social contract to protect people's liberties and property.
John Locke believed that everyone had the natural right to life, liberty, and property. He argued that people had the right to rebel if these rights were violated by the government.
