Facts to know:
Locke believed in constitutionalism. Governments were bound by laws. Our government is based off of the ideas of Locke.
Can you as a citizen do something unconstitutional?
What are the first words of the first amendment to the Constitution.
What does this say about how we see the role of government?
Locke differed from other philosophers of the time who thought people were basically bad and needed a harsh ruler to wield power over them.
Hobbes thought human nature was low and that people could not exist without a strong, dictatorial government. He thought that without kings, people would engage in a war of each against all and that life was “solitary, nasty, brutish and short.” Questioning the government would cause weakness of the government and chaos.

Governments are designed to protect life, liberty and property. People cannot do that on their own. So both Hobbes and Locke acknowledge the need for government and that governments are more powerful than small groups or individuals

The term social contract describes a broad class of philosophical theories whose subjects are the implied agreements by which people form nations and maintain a social order. In laymen's terms, this means that the people give up some rights to a government in order to receive social order.

Social contract theory provides the rationale behind the historically important notion that legitimate state authority must be derived from the consent of the governed.
