This resource explores foundational political concepts crucial to understanding societal structure. It examines the 'state of nature' as a condition without government, highlighting the importance of natural rights—life, liberty, and property—that define human purpose. The social contract is introduced as a means to protect these rights through an agreed governance system, while the right of revolution empowers citizens to reclaim authority if their government oversteps its purpose. Together, these ideas shape our views on justice and governance.
