The idea at the time was that rulers were put in place in order to better the country or by the divine selection of God. This led to the thought that if the leader was trying to better our country or if God has put him there, i need to do my part to help him, so people existed to support the government. Locke challenged this idea, thus making his belief a radical idea.
