Explanation

John Locke (1632 - 1704) was an English philosopher who stood out as one of the fathers of classical liberalism, because he focused his studies and reasoning on the social contract and the functioning of the state and government. His main ideas point to the fact that the social contract was the product of the consent of the population, however, he affirmed that this consent had to be renewed from generation to generation, arguing that each generation could not submit to the next under its conceptions. On the other hand, he affirmed that the consent of the people could not fall into the enslavement of the population at the service of the government. So, the correct answer is B. No government can function without the consent of the people.
