John Locke (1632 – 1704) is among the most influential political philosophers of the modern period. In his “Two Treatises of Government,” he argued the idea of a social contract where people in the state of nature conditionally transfer some of their rights to the government to better ensure the stable, comfortable enjoyment of their lives, liberty, and property. He also argued that should government fail; the people have the right to revolt. His arguments concerning liberty and the social contract later influenced the written works of Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Thomas Jefferson, and other Founding Fathers of the United States.
