Answer 2

Answer:

Two-Treatises of Government, is the right answer.

Explanation:

John Locke was a scholar during the Enlightenment era whose political theories did not assist the elected government based on inheritance. His thoughts and ideas about the government in the book "Two-Treatises of Government" influenced Thomas Jefferson at the time while he was making efforts to draft the Declaration of Independence for American colonies. Locke raised opinions about the centrality of resources in human liberty and the principles of natural law (according to which everyone takes birth with natural rights).
