  His political theories were published in 1689 under the name of "Two Treatises of Government". In the work, Locke attacked Patriarchalism and define his idea for a more civilized society based on natural rights and the contract theory. On his Second Treatise he discussed a theory of civil society, he said that all men are born equal in the state of nature.
