Synopsis "Second Treatise of Government"

Reader, thou hast here the beginning and end of a discourse concerning government; what fate has otherwise disposed of the papers that should have filled up the middle, and were more than all the rest, it is not worth while to tell thee.

John Locke

John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philosopher who laid the foundations of the European Enlightenment. Locke believed that each branch of government should have separate powers, that freedom should be protected from state interference, and that the state should protect its citizens' private property. These ideas greatly influenced the founding fathers of the United States. Locke also proposed a new theory of knowledge acquisition based entirely on experience and reflection.
