Social Contract Theory Of John Locke (1932-1704) In The Contemporary World, Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.

Daudi Mwita Nyamaka Mr.

The 17th century period was marked by an attempt to erect effective safeguard against violations of natural law by governments.

This paper aims at examining the social contract theory of the 17th-century English philosopher, John Locke, its parameters, limitations and its …
