Locke's share of the work, however, must not be ignored. He suppHed the details for a plan whose general require- ments were furnished him. The young philosopher was doubtless under the influence of recent experiences, and it was then a score of years before he, among the forces of the " Glorious Revolution," published his great works " On Civil Government " and " On Toleration." Still the spirit that produced " The Leviathan " was not all lost on the young Locke. Throughout the Constitutions w...e see the principle of civil liberty continually asserting itself. Wherever the feudal outline, the required part, ceases, liberal ideas appear. In accordance with the idea of a landed aristocracy, the Fundamental Constitutions^ divided society into seven ranks. At the top were the Proprietors, who were always to be eight in number, and each of whom should have a seigniory, or twelve thousand acres of land, in each county. This gave the Proprietors one-fifth of the land in each county. One Pro- prietor, the Palatine, was at the head of the whole govern- ment.
