Locke is famous for many works, including, his Essay Concerning Human Understanding, but most especially, his Two Treatises of Government, wherein he defends a form of social contract in which the People are supreme, and in which government is obliged to respect their natural rights and whose legitimacy is grounded on the consent of the governed.
