The ideas mentioned in the question are attributed to John Locke, who asserted that a government's legitimacy comes from the consent of the governed, that people have the right to rebel if consent is not given, and that government must protect natural rights. Locke's theories significantly influenced modern democracy and the understanding of rights and government. Thus, the correct answer is B. John Locke.
