Explanation:

Question 2

John Locke was an English philosopher of the Enlightenment. He believed people could overthrow the government if it failed to protect their natural rights (life, liberty, property) and violated the social contract.

The three Natural Rights, as proposed by John Locke, are the right to life (one’s own existence), liberty (freedom to act and make choices), and property (ownership of one’s possessions, including one’s self).

Montesquieu contributed the idea of separation of powers (dividing government into legislative, executive, judicial branches) to the Enlightenment. This idea aimed to prevent tyranny by ensuring each branch checks and balances the others.

Answer:

John Locke was an Enlightenment philosopher. He believed people could overthrow the government when it failed to protect their natural rights (life, liberty, property) and breached the social contract.
