Of Civil Government by John Locke on Audio Cassette

John Locke conceived the idea of checks and balances contained in the U.S. Constitution, and he asserted that revolution in some circumstances is not only a right but an obligation. LockeвЂ™s theories on the nature of the state and the manner in which governments can most effectively maintain a balance of power provided a vigorous incentive to American and French revolutionaries of the eighteenth century.
