John Locke was a 17th Century English philosopher who wrote on political theory and the nature of governance. His works are largely considered to be some of the foremost texts on the philosophical foundations of government.

Among Locke's most famous works is Two Treatises of Government, the second of which outlines, among other things, how and for what purpose governments are formed.
