These two days we talked about John Locke, who is the most important advocate during the Enlightenment and wrote his famous discourses.

My initial reaction about the “treatise of two government"

To be honest, it is one of the deepest article I have ever read. What I apprehend so far is that he is trying to figure out the inheritance from the fatherhood and their posterities. For a long time, why the properties are always inherited from father to the sons especially to the eldest son? Does the government makes the law or even is ordered by the god? As said in the passage, it results from the nature law; it is the regulation which formed as the timed proved. As same as the inheritance between fatherhood, it is between Adam and his so-called sucessor, princes.However, it is impossible for humans to accept the authority that takes over them without command and vote. For this reason, the sovereign should be in charge of the people that were agreed by most of the people. Only that can convince the society in order and guarantee common's due rights.
