john Locke criticized the Old Regime primarily for its absolute monarchy and the lack of individual rights. He believed that government should be based on the consent of the governed and that individuals possess natural rights to life, liberty, and property. Locke argued that the authority of rulers should be limited and that people have the right to revolt against unjust governance, challenging the divine right of kings that characterized the Old Regime.
