John Locke and Human Rights. Enlightenment philosophers and political theorists further explored the idea that the power of monarchs (kings) should be limited and should be based on the consent of the people, and that monarchs should respect the rights of their subjects.John Locke.e was among the first to advocate the view that people have natural rights simply because they are human beings, and that these natural rights should be protected by the government. Lockeâs most important piece of political philosophy is his Second Treatise of Civil Government.
For Locke, in the state of nature all men are free to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of nature. (2nd Tr., Â§4). The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, and that law is reason. Locke believes that reason teaches that no one ought to harm another in his life, liberty, and or property (2nd Tr., Â§6) ; and that transgressions of this may be punished.
