From a state of nature governed by reason, Locke derives a labor theory of property, the money convention, and limits on accumulation.

John Locke's Second Treatise of Government offers a lucid, juridical argument for political authority founded on natural law and consent. From a state of nature governed by reason, Locke derives a labor theory of property, the money convention, and limits on accumulation. He delineates fiduciary legislative power, executive prerogative, and a right of resistance, rebutting Filmer's divine-right absolutism and shaping early liberal constitutionalism. An Oxford-trained physician and philosopher, Locke served Anthony Ashley Cooper, experienced exile in the Dutch Republic, and witnessed the Exclusion Crisis and the Glorious Revolution; the Two Treatises appeared anonymously in 1689. His administrative and colonial entanglements (e.g., the Carolina constitutions) informed chapters on property, conquest, and slavery, while his tolerationism and empiricism pressed against arbitrary rule. Scholars, lawyers, and citizens alike should read this Treatise for its elegant architecture and enduring theses on consent, property, and limited government-and also critically, for its tensions over slavery and empire. As a foundation text of modern constitutionalism, it rewards close study alongside Hobbes, Filmer, and later republican and liberal thinkers. Quickie Classics summarizes timeless works with precision, preserving the author's voice and keeping the prose clear, fast, and readable-distilled, never diluted. Enriched Edition extras: Introduction · Synopsis · Historical Context · Author Biography · Brief Analysis · 4 Reflection Q&As · Editorial Footnotes.
