Question

Instructions:Select the correct answer. Imagine you are preparing a speech on social contract theory for your government class. As part of your speech, you need to focus on the idea that people have the authority to overthrow a government that has become tyrannical. Which Enlightenment text would be good source material?

Answer 1

you would want to used Locke's Second Treatise on Government

Answer 2

Hey there!
The Enlightenment was the period of reason for things like government and thinking. One thinker that really stood out, named John Locke, wrote his Second Treatise, and I think that's the perfect source material to use here. It expressed opinions and enforced this ideal, wrong or not.
