Which of the following enlightenment philosophers argued that if the government fails to protect individual natural rights, the people have the right to replace that government?
a. john locke
b. voltaire
c. adam smith
d. montesquieu

A. John Locke

Explanation:

The right of the people to resistance to power is theoretically substantiated by John Locke. According to him, the goal of civil society is to avoid and compensate for the inconvenience of the natural state, which inevitably arise from the fact that each person is a judge in his own case. This is achieved by establishing a well-known authority, where each member of this society can apply, having suffered any damage or in the event of any dispute.

The community constantly retains the supreme power to save itself from attempts and intentions of anyone, even their own legislators, in cases where the latter create danger and conspire against the freedom of the people.
