The "Two Treatises of Government" were written by the English philosopher John Locke in 1689. In these treatises, Locke argued against the concept of divine right monarchy and put forth his ideas on political philosophy. One of the key elements of Locke's philosophy was the concept of natural rights, including the idea of inalienable individual rights to life, liberty, and property. Locke's works, including the "Two Treatises on Government," had a significant influence on Enlightenment thinking and the development of political theory.
