According to John Locke, social contract theory which government would be an illegal government
1 answer
According to John Locke's social contract theory, any government that does not fulfill its obligation to protect the natural rights and liberties of its citizens would be considered an illegal government. Locke believed that the primary purpose of government is to protect people's life, liberty, and property. If a government infringes upon these rights or fails to maintain the consent of the governed, it would be seen as an illegal and illegitimate government in Locke's view.
