According to John Locke's Two Treatises of Government, the purpose of government is to protect the natural rights of people. This can be found in the Second Treatise, where Locke argues that the primary role of government is to preserve the life, liberty, and property of its citizens. Locke believed that individuals possess certain inherent rights, including the right to life, liberty, and property. Government exists to secure and protect these natural rights, with the consent of the governed.

The first treatise is a refutation of the theory of the divine right of kings, and the second is a philosophical treatment of the origins and limits of political authority.
