John Locke's Two Treatise Of Government

Locke’s published works, Two Treatise of Government, conveyed his theory that to govern or set up a system of government, the people must first consent to being governed in that way. By consenting, they expect for them, their property, and their rights to be protected. The government, in turn, is responsible for protecting its citizens and looking out for what is best for them. This agreement is unofficial the contract made between the people and their governance for consent to be
governed.
