Since birth, humans have human rights that cannot be challenged by anyone. Even when a state is formed with such a system of power, it cannot take away human rights. The rights to life, liberty and property are rights that have been inherent in humans since birth. When humans form a country and use their freedom to elect a few people to be their leaders, these leaders automatically hold the people's mandate to create justice and social prosperity. However, citizens are also free to dismiss a government that acts arbitrarily, for example because it has committed corruption. Corruption is the same as taking away human rights, where funds used for the welfare of the people are taken by the authorities for their personal or group welfare. In this paper the author tries to help minimize social injustice, through the principles of authority and freedom put forward by John Locke and John Stuart Mill. The author will describe several cases of corruption committed by government officials and then help readers on how to take a stance on this corruption phenomenon based on the thoughts of John Locke and John Stuart Mill.
