Summary
"John LOLcke," a wig-wearing 17th-century neckbeard who thought that peasants actually had opinions worth listening to. He came up with the crackpot idea of "consent of the governed," which basically means "the government shouldn't treat you like trash without asking first." This totally wild concept laid the groundwork for modern democracy, which is now ignored by most politicians anyway.
Fun fact: Locke was probably the original "free speech absolutist" before it was edgy, arguing that people shouldn't get executed just for having spicy takes. What a mad lad.
