VERA DIAZ, Adriana. On the right to resistance in Thomas Hobbes and John Locke. Rev. Guillermo Ockham [online]. 2019, vol.17, n.2, pp.51-59.  Epub Feb 03, 2021. ISSN 1794-192X.  https://doi.org/10.21500/22563202.4234.

The use of the right to resistance does not tend in any way to achieve popular aspirations, but to defend or restore the established order; Therefore, by recognizing the right of resistance, it is intended to work as a mean for the prince to reflect and as a result, get him to respect the lawfulness. Consequently, this paper will present Thomas Hobbes and John Locke´s thinking and will establish possible agreements and disagreements regarding their political theories, especially the one that concerns here: the right to resistance.

Keywords : Thomas Hobbes; John Locke; rights; resistance; state; power.
