"Second Treatise on Government" is a fundamental political work of the English philosopher John Locke. In this book, the author presents his theory of the social contract and human rights in an argumentative manner. Locke asserts that government must arise from the will of the people, and that power must be limited so as not to violate the natural rights of the individual. The book is deservedly considered one of the key works in the field of political philosophy and human rights and remains relevant to this day.
