Stuart Restoration to Glorious Revolution (Locke, Pt. 2)

Part Two of our section on John Locke, itself part of a larger series Foundations of Western Political Thought. For this video we explore the historical context of John Locke. What was England like during his formative adult years?

We touch on the formation of the Whig Party, the Tory Party, the Habeas Corpus Act 1679, the Exclusion Crisis, and of course the Glorious Revolution of 1688.
