Locke was a major influence on the development of modern philosophy and is famous for his theories on the social contract and the power of the individual. Locke's most famous work is Two Treatises of Government, in which he argued that governments derive their powers from the consent of the governed. He proposed that the government should have limited power and should protect the rights of its citizens. Locke also argued for religious toleration and the separation of church and state.
