Who is John Locke from The Origins of Political Order: From Prehuman Times to the French Revolution and what is their importance?

John Locke was an author and political theorist who wrote the Second Treatise on Government which Fukuyama briefly summarizes. According to Locke, Fukuyama claims, humans are naturally free and driven to preserve their freedom as well as to create possessions out of their resources and labor. Complete liberty leads to warfare, Locke argued, and so humans entered into mutual agreements to preserve their liberty and property by creating a state.
