What did John Locke oppose?

  1. The Divine Right of Kings

  2. The concept of democracy

  3. The separation of powers

  4. The establishment of parliaments

The correct answer is: The Divine Right of Kings

John Locke opposed the Divine Right of Kings because it gave monarchs absolute power over their subjects without any accountability. He argued that authority should come from the consent of the governed, not from a supposed divine right given to kings by God. Therefore, it is incorrect to say that he opposed democracy, the separation of powers, or the establishment of parliaments as these were all ideas that he strongly supported.
