    John Locke was born in 1632 and died in 1702 in England. His life spanned the same period as the English Revolution that redefined British monarchical power.

    According to Locke, man lived in a natural state where there was no political or social organization. This restricted his freedom and prevented the development of any science or art.

    The problem is that there was no judge, a power above the others who could monitor whether everyone is enjoying natural rights.

    So, to solve this power vacuum, men will freely agree to constitute themselves in an organized political society.

    Man can directly influence the political decisions of civil society, either through the exercise of direct democracy or by delegating his decision-making power to another person. This is the case with representative democracy, in which citizens elect their representatives.

    For its part, the State aims to ensure the rights of men such as life, freedom and private property.
