John Locke

John Locke was a philosopher. He believed that people had rights a king could not take away. Those rights were life, liberty, and property. Because of what he thought, King James II wanted to put him in jail. Locke went to Holland so he would not get thrown in jail. The king was kicked out by parliament and his daughter and her husband, Mary and William, became king and queen. Locke gladly returned to England. On his trip back he spoke with Princess Mary because she was on the same ship as he was. He told her, if the king is being a bad king the people had the right to kick him out. Locke thought that Mary and William would be different from King James II, they would be better.
