John Locke, an Enlightenment Englishmen, argued that government was a “contract” between leaders and the people. If the government did not adhere to the rules of the contract, the government could be changed. Locke believed the government’s job was to protect three rights: life, liberty, and property. These rights were “natural” because they were present from birth and could not be taken away by anyone—including the government.
