Introduction:  John Locke gave us a theory on why people form governments; basically, it worked like this:

  1. people are free in nature, and only give up that freedom to better PROTECT their “natural rights,” which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of property.
  2. the government’s job is to protect its peoples’ natural rights
  3. if a government fails to do its job then the people need to either change it or create an entirely new government.

****NOTICE that “3” = a REVOLUTION****

Remember John Locke's quote on the purpose of government:  "But though men when they enter into society, give up the equality, liberty and executive power they had in the state of nature, into the hands of the society, to be so far disposed of by the legislature, as the good of the society shall require; yet it being only with an intention to everyone the better to preserve himself his liberty and property" (Second Treatise, Chapter 9)
