Yes, john Locke believed that people had the right to rebel against an unjust government. In his social contract theory, he argued that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, and if a government fails to protect the rights of its citizens or acts unjustly, the people have the right to overthrow it. This idea significantly influenced later democratic thought and revolutions, including the American Revolution.
