Which philosopher wrote Two Treatises of Government?
Answer
John Locke
The First Treatise refutes Robert Filmer's argument for the divine right of kings, while the Second lays out Locke's case for natural rights and government by the consent of the governed, an influence still visible in the language of the American Declaration of Independence.
