john Locke's Two Treatises of Government provides a philosophical foundation for justifying the Glorious Revolution by emphasizing the principles of natural rights and the social contract. Locke argues that government derives its legitimacy from the consent of the governed, and when a ruler violates this trust or fails to protect the people's rights, they are justified in overthrowing that government. The Glorious Revolution of 1688, which led to the establishment of constitutional monarchy in England, aligns with Locke's ideas by demonstrating the people's right to rebel against tyranny and replace it with a government that respects their liberties. Thus, Locke's work not only rationalizes the revolution but also legitimizes the transition to a government that adheres to the rule of law and protects individual rights.
Thomas Paine justifies the French Revolution by arguing that it is a necessary response to tyranny and oppression. He believes that the people have the right to overthrow a government that fails to protect their rights and liberties. Paine emphasizes the importance of reason and the pursuit of liberty, asserting that revolution is a natural and justified act when a government becomes corrupt and illegitimate. In his view, the actions against the French government are a courageous stand for democracy and human rights.
