Locke's Second Treatise of Government (1689) is one of the great classics of political philosophy widely regarded as the foundational text of modern liberalism. In it Locke insists on majority rule and regards no government as legitimate unless it has the consent of the people. He sets aside people's ethnicities religions and cultures and envisages political societies which command our assent because they meet our elemental needs simply as humans. His work helped to entrench ideas of a social contract human rights and protection of property as the guiding principles for just actions and just societies.
