John Locke argued that individuals have the right to overthrow a government that fails to protect their natural rights, as outlined in his 'Two Treatises of Government.' He introduced the concept of a social contract, which asserts that legitimate authority comes from the consent of the governed. If a government abuses its power, it loses its legitimacy, and the people have the right to replace it.
