The belief that would have been discouraged by John Locke is:
People always owe governments their loyalty and obedience.
John Locke emphasized the importance of individual rights and the social contract, suggesting that government authority is conditional upon its protection of those rights. If a government fails to serve the common good, Locke argued that people have the right to overthrow it, which contradicts the idea of unconditional loyalty and obedience.
