    Locke argued that govenment must be built on the consent of the governed; in other words, the people must agree on who their leader will be. Locke also pointed out that there should be a limited government and there must be clear restrictions on what the ruler can do. The people are to elect who they would like to represent them and in exchange the leader compromises with power but with limited power.
