. Do you agree or disagree with “everyone having the

right to life, liberty, and property” statement. Explain
your answer in 3 sentences.
I believe all citizens should have the right to life, liberty and property. These
three aspects are essential to human beings to contain the life, without
cruel living. Without these aspects we would be deprived of resources to
basic needs to live. Ultimately, causing the deaths of mutliple if not all
human beind, which is why those three rights are essential to living. We are
human beings, these rights should be naturally granted.

According to John Locke, what was the

purpose of government?
The purpose of government according John Locke, was to protect the
natural rights of human beings, ensuring that those rights are enforced. He
also believe there should be no overpowered leaders, and shall be no
depriving of the natural rights.

What might be the advantages and

disadvantages of living in a state of
nature?

Living in the concept of “State of nature” might sound appealing to some, a

life where you could do whatever you want, however you want. But this
state has a major downfall. Natural human rights will not be enforced due to
no laws, or government, ultimately meaning you can be deprived of it, in
the matter of seconds.

What would you do in a situation like this?

Ask your group if they have something
similar or different from your answer?
In a situation like this, I would respect others natural rights and my own, but
also try to distance myself from people as much as possible due to the
amount of anarchy, which I would most desirably like to avoid.

What is a social contract? Do you think this is the best

way to create a government? Why or why not?

A social contract is an agreement between people amongst theirselves to

create a government to take over them and protect their natural rights. I
believe this is the best way to create a government because following a law
in order to receive life, liberty and freedom, exhibits commitment and
security for other citizens amongst you.
