This resource explores fundamental concepts such as the state of nature, natural rights, and the social contract. The state of nature refers to a condition without government, where individuals possess natural rights—life, liberty, and property—defining human existence. The social contract establishes an agreement among individuals to form a government that protects these rights. Additionally, it highlights the right of revolution, emphasizing that people can reclaim their power if the government fails to serve its intended purpose.
