The Forms of Civil Government (Locke, Pt. 4)
Part Four of our series on John Locke, part of a larger series Foundations of Western Political Thought. In this video we examine Locke's views on the various forms of civil government, particularly the Legislative power and the Executive power. Of the institutions of civil government, the Legislative power is supreme, however, Locke emphasizes that the Legislative is ultimately subordinate to the People, who retain certain unalienable rights.
