The basis for all political discussions of John Locke's concept of natural law; and the development of its political ideas is accompanied by interpretations that he gave us this concept, in particular those that guide their conceptions of freedom and property. Locke argues that it is not the strength nor the tradition, but only express "consent" of the governed that constitutes as the only source of a political power to be legitimate. Such consent derives from the freedom that exists in the State of nature and based the foundations of civil society.
