The Second Treatise outlines a theory of civil society. John Locke begins by describing the state of nature, a picture much more stable than Thomas Hobbes' state of "war of every man against every man," and argues that all men are created equal in the state of nature by God.

Locke explores a number of notable themes such as conquest and slavery, property, representative government, and the right of revolution.
