Detailed explanation-1: -For Locke, the government must be a “neutral judge” of law with no right to interfere in the lives of the individual. The most radical idea to come from Locke’s pen was the idea of governmental legitimacy. Locke believed that a government should be beholden to the people rather than vice-versa.
Detailed explanation-2: -Often credited as a founder of modern “liberal” thought, Locke pioneered the ideas of natural law, social contract, religious toleration, and the right to revolution that proved essential to both the American Revolution and the U.S. Constitution that followed.
Detailed explanation-3: -17th-century English philosopher John Locke discussed natural rights in his work, identifying them as being “life, liberty, and estate (property)", and argued that such fundamental rights could not be surrendered in the social contract.
Detailed explanation-4: -According to Locke, we are born into perfect freedom. We are naturally free. We are free to do what we want, when we want, how we want, within the bounds of the “law of nature.” The problem that most have in understanding this theory of Locke’s is their frame of reference.
