John Locke argues that all men are created equal in the state of nature by God. In his seminal essay <i><b>Second Treatise of Government </b></i>he outlines an entire theory of civil society. Locke explores a number of themes such as conquest and slavery, property, representative government, and the right of revolution. He argues that the protection of life, liberty, and property can be achieved by a parliamentary process that protects, not violates, one&#39;s rights.
