Explain the historical circumstances that led John Locke and other political philosophers to develop political ideas such as those expressed in his Second Treatise of Government

Respuesta :

John Locke and other political philosophers developed some political ideas based on the historical circumstances provided by the English Glorious Revolution and the Age of Enlightenment, which they propelled.

 

The Glorious Revolution caused the change of government in England. It led to the dethronement of King James II.  John Locke and other philosophers welcome the forceful change of government, terming it the "Glorious Revolution."

The Glorious Revolution rejected the divine rights of kings and ushered in a more representative government in England with a reduced monarchy.

 

Similarly, the Age of Enlightenment taught people to develop various ideas about government and use rationalism to determine some knowledge.

 

Thus, these historical circumstances provided the fertile ground for John Locke and other political philosophers to spread their ideas.
