Second Treatise of Government by John Locke AUDIOBOOK

John Locke’s Second Treatise of Government is one of the most important and influential works in political philosophy and the foundation of modern democratic thought. First published in 1689, this seminal text argues for a system of government based on natural rights, the consent of the governed, and the protection of individual liberty and property.

In a bold rejection of the divine right of kings, Locke outlines a vision of civil society formed through a social contract. He asserts that all people are born free and equal, with inherent rights to life, liberty, and property—rights that no government may violate. If a government fails to uphold these principles, Locke contends, citizens not only have the right but the obligation to resist or replace it.

Second Treatise of Government had a profound impact on the American and French Revolutions and continues to shape constitutional democracies around the world. Its clear reasoning, revolutionary ideas, and enduring relevance make it essential reading for anyone interested in political theory, history, law, or the roots of personal freedom.

This audiobook edition presents Locke’s groundbreaking ideas in an accessible and compelling format, ideal for students, thinkers, and citizens seeking to understand the foundations of liberty and democratic governance.
