| Sumario: | John Locke’s Two Treatises of Government (TT) proposes two pacts, one which establishes the State and another that establishes the government. These two pacts exhibit profound differences with the contractualism of Thomas Hobbes and open the door to the Lockean theory of resistance. In this article the characteristics of both pacts are analyzed in some detail in light, not only of TT but of other texts written by Locke, with the aim of clarifying the specificity and originality of his political proposal. This will involve departing from classical interpreters such as John Dunn and John Simmons, as well as contemporary ones such as Lee Ward and Robert Faulkner. |
