More about the book

The Second Treatise of Government offers a profound exploration of the principles of liberty and justice that significantly influenced America's Founding Fathers. Its ideas shaped the Declaration of Independence, with Thomas Jefferson drawing heavily on Locke's concepts, leading to accusations of plagiarism. Locke's thoughts also permeated State Declarations and Constitutions and were frequently referenced during the Federal Convention of 1787. This work encapsulates the essence of English constitutionalism and the enduring struggle for democratic governance.
