Exploring the foundations of political philosophy, this work delves into the concepts of natural rights, government authority, and the social contract. It articulates the idea that legitimate government must derive its power from the consent of the governed, emphasizing individual liberty and equality. Through its examination of the state of nature and the justification for civil society, it challenges the divine right of kings and advocates for a system based on democracy and personal freedoms.
