Exploring key political concepts, Locke's influential work argues for popular sovereignty and critiques absolute monarchy. It advocates for the separation of government powers into judicial, legislative, and executive branches, and asserts the people's right to dissolve their government. Written as a defense of the overthrow of King James II, this 1690 treatise laid foundational ideas that shaped modern political thought, significantly impacting documents like the Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution.
