    About this audiobook

    This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

    In a world without rulers, are we truly free? John Locke's "Second Treatise of Government" challenges the very nature of power and authority. Imagine a society built on consent, where life, liberty, and property are not privileges, but inherent rights. But what if those in power betray this trust? Is revolution justified? Delve into this philosophical exploration that ignited revolutions and continues to shape political discourse today. Unveil the foundations of legitimate government and discover the power that lies within the hands of the people.
