John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government," published in 1689, is a foundational text in political philosophy that outlines his theories on civil government and individual rights. Locke argues for the concept of natural rights, including life, liberty, and property, and contends that governments are established to protect these rights through the consent of the governed. He critiques absolute monarchy and advocates for a system of government based on the rule of law and the separation of powers, influencing modern democratic thought. The work emphasizes the importance of individual freedom and the right to revolution against unjust governments.

John Locke wrote in the Second Treatise of Civil Government that those "who having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the only remedy in such cases, an appeal to heaven." The revolutionaries took this as a slogan. They could no longer look to the British Government to address their issues, so they would appeal not to the King, but to heaven -- and rise in revolt.
