Question

Which of the following aspects of American government is NOT based on the philosophies of John Locke?

Answer 1

John Locke was not of the opinion that b) individuals must enter into a social contract with government.

John Locke came up with a Theory of Social Contract as well as other philosophies in relation to government. He believed that:

• Government power needed to be separated into the legislative, judicial and executive branches for it to function well
• Government power should be limited to certain roles
• The government derived its powers from the willingness of the people to submit

He did not believe that people needed to get into a social contract with the government but rather that they should only do it consensually.

In conclusion, John Locke believed a social contract between government and people was necessary but that it needed to be done willingly.
