Question

Discuss John Locke’s view of property as a natural right.

Answer 1

John locke's is the most influential political philosopher's in the Two Treatises of Government. he defended the claim that all men are by nature free and equal against claims.He argued that people have rights, such as the right to life, liberty, and property, that have a foundation independent of the laws of any particular society. Locke used the claim that men are naturally free and equal as part of the justification for understanding legitimate political government as the result of a social contract where people in the state of nature conditionally transfer some of their rights to the government in order to better ensure the stable, comfortable enjoyment of their lives, liberty, and property
