The belief that people can replace a ruler who fails to fulfill his duties is often associated with Enlightenment thinkers, particularly John Locke. Locke argued in his "Second Treatise of Government" that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed, and if a ruler violates the social contract or fails to protect the people's rights, they have the right to revolt and establish a new government. This idea significantly influenced democratic principles and revolutions, emphasizing the importance of accountability in leadership.

Thirdly, the enlightened ruler would promote and develop arts, sciences and education. Fourthly, the enlightened ruler himself should obey the law and enforce fairly upon his people.

Hobbes believed that a ruler was necessary to maintain social order, and that in order to achieve a stable society, people had to give up all individual rights, except for the right to protect their own lives. The people were to trust the leader to work for their well-being. Locke thought that people did not need to give up all their individual rights, and that the ruler should preserve those rights; if the ruler did not, the people should be able to overthrow that ruler.
Philosophers of the Enlightenment believed that government decisions should be based on reason, individual rights, and the pursuit of the common good. They emphasized the importance of a social contract between the ruler and the governed, with power derived from the consent of the people.
He is often quoted as having said: 'The king is the first servant of the state'.
Edgar Degas
Thomas Hobbes believed that citizens should have the right to self-preservation and the right to defend themselves in order to maintain peace and security in society. He also believed that citizens should have the right to transfer their individual rights to a sovereign ruler in order to establish social order and prevent a state of nature.
In theocracy a deity is considered the civil ruler. This ruler is believed to be chosen by God himself to lead the people and this claim is reinforced by the clergy.
No, Machiavelli believed that a ruler should prioritize their own power and stability over the happiness of the people. He argued that it is better for a prince to be feared than loved, as fear ensures obedience and stability in a ruler's domain.
Locke thought rulers could stay in power if they had the consent of those they governed. If the ruler was a tyrant, then the people had the right to rebel and set up a new government or appoint a new ruler. Hobbes thought rulers should have absolute power. If people entered into such a contract, the people could not rebel, even if the ruler was a tyrant.
Thomas Hobbes believed in a strong central authority to maintain order and prevent chaos in society. He argued that humans are naturally selfish and need a powerful ruler to keep them in check. John Locke, on the other hand, believed in individual rights and limited government. He argued that people have natural rights to life, liberty, and property, and that government should protect these rights through a social contract with the consent of the governed.
