Il Secondo Trattato Sul Governo by John Locke
An Essay Concerning the True Original, Extent, and End of Civil Government
A foundational political work arguing that individuals in the state of nature possess natural rights to life, liberty, and property and that governments are formed by the consent of the governed to secure those rights; property arises from mixing one’s labor with common resources and money allows for accumulation, while legitimate authority is limited, conditional, and accountable through laws and separated functions of government; when rulers violate the trust and fail to protect natural rights, citizens retain the right to resist and replace them.
