A philosophical work from the 17th century that outlines why people should be able to change their government. He determines that all people have the right to life, liberty, and property. Liberty is the freedom to arrange your affairs in the way you want. Property is obtained when you apply your labour to common property. If the government is depriving you of these things you should be able to get rid of them. He outlines reason as the factor that permits us to realize the equality of people and thus our duty not to harm them.
