 | | Locke's Two Treatises reflect the abiding concerns of an age of political turmoil and social upheaval: the establishment of legitimate political authority as the foundation for peace and security, and, with it, toleration, and the rule of law. |
 | | Though the ideas expressed by Locke were not new, nor was his exposition without error, they nevertheless are representative of the commonwealthman tradition's emphasis upon the possession of resistance rights to tyranny. |
