About the author
(1632–1704) was an English philosopher known as the father of liberalism. His ideas on natural rights, government, and individual freedom influenced modern democracy. Locke argued that governments derive their authority from the consent of the governed and must protect life, liberty, and property. His work "Two Treatises of Government" shaped political thought and inspired revolutions. John Locke’s philosophy continues to be central to discussions on rights, governance, and freedom.
