Jean-Jacques Rousseau's Influence On Government

John Locke is among the most famous and important political people who think a lot about how people think of the modern period. In the Two Written works of Government, he defended the claim that men are by nature free and equal against claims that God had made all people naturally subject to a national ruler.

In his mature work, he mostly explores two routes to accomplishing or

Law flowed from the superior to the inferior, be it God, national ruler or nation, and the inferior was forced to exactly follow orders. He admitted to humans as the noblest of all sublunary beings, a creature given with both reason and free will but said with authority that there were certain unchangeable laws of how humans are, within which by which free will is in some degree controlled and limited and that God gave the ability to think to discover the general meaning of those
