John Locke's "Two Treatises on Government" of 1689 established two fundamental liberal ideas: economic liberty (meaning the right to have and use the property) and intellectual liberty (including freedom of conscience). According to Locke, the individual was naturally free and only became a political subject out of free choice.

Without the consent of the people, there could not be formed a civil society/ community. Secondly, Locke emphasized that all men were equal.
