What have human leaders mistaken the consent or the will of the people to be, according to Locke? “Though...politics [cannot] be founded on any thing but the consent of the people...in the noise of war, which makes so great a part of the history of mankind, this consent is little taken notice of: and therefore many have mistaken the force of arms for the consent of the people, and reckon conquest is as far from setting up any government, as demolishing an [sic] house is from building a new one in the place...Without the consent of the people, [one] can never erect a new one.”

A
Will of the majority
