Fighting Tyranny: Resistance and Revolution (Locke, Pt. 5)
Part Five 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 if and when it is appropriate for the People to resist or even revolt against a tyrannical government, whether emanating from the Legislative power or the Executive power. The Lockean theory of natural rights, liberty, and resistance to tyranny exerted a powerful influence on Thomas Jefferson, and the United States Declaration of Independence in particular.
