Detailed explanation-1: -Two Treatises of Government, major statement of the political philosophy of the English philosopher John Locke, published in 1689 but substantially composed some years before then.
Detailed explanation-2: -Locke states in the Two Treatises that the power of the Government is limited to the public good. It is a power “that hath no other end but preservation” and therefore cannot justify killing, enslaving, or plundering the citizens (2.135).
Detailed explanation-3: -Locke’s theory of government postulates that societies in their original condition comprised only individuals, without government. Individuals in this “state of nature"9 pos-sessed certain inherent rights and liberties which existed inde-pendently of government.
