Research Paper On John Locke

I agree with your idea on John Locke’s point of views. This is correct that human beings have access to the natural law by birth due to the life, liberty, and property rights they are given. The natural law is described by the golden rule which states, Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” (Melchert 290). This means treat others the way you want them to treat you. If you behave with anger and rudeness, expect the same treatment back. If you show respect and kindness, you will get the same attitude in return. John Locke was a believer of the limited and representative government. He created a social contract with the Americans to create a set of governing rules. Americans would voluntary agree to give up their rights for the government.
