In the Second Treaty, Locke deploys his theory of the State.
To avoid struggles for power, Locke tries to banish the idea of tyrannicide. It considers that a constitutional king that is subordinated to the civil power (of the Parliament) is more than enough. To silence the critics will come to say that "Other forms of power can also fall into tyranny."
The first fundamental law of the Legislative Power is that it is "elected and appointed by the people." National sovereignty therefore remains in the hands of this Legislative Power, elected by the people, and will be translated into "the power to legislate" (make laws) and "elect the Executive Power".
