Locke believed that human nature is characterized by reason and tolerance. Locke believed that certain rights are inalienable and should not be denied to anybody. These are the right to life, liberty and property.  

I agree that no written law should contradict these rights. This is because of the fundamental nature of the rights. Any law that denies these rights will result in tyranny and denial of basic rights.  

The concept of rule of law basically refers to a situation whereby a country is bound to a system of laws. This is a key tenet of democracy whereby no individual is above the law ensuring that there is law and order.  

The idea of rule of law is important as it guarantees everybody an equal opportunity to pursue their happiness. It checks abuse of power by those in position of power and allows people to exercise their liberty

                         THE MIDDLE EAST INFORMATION

"The most widely accepted theory for why the Middle East is loaded with oil is that the region was not always a vast desert. Scientists say that 100 million years ago this area was instead a massive body of water known as the “Tethys Ocean.” Rivers that fed into this ocean were loaded with nutrients, which lead to conditions that were conducive for a diverse variety of microscopic life to materialize in the water.

As life is never one to pass up an opportunity, these conditions resulted in billions and billions of miniscule marine creatures swimming about. Algae, bacteria, and whatever else nature came up with eventually accumulated on the ocean floor in thick layers that grew to be miles deep. As more layers formed on top of these over time, the lower parts were compressed. Those compressed aquatic corpses transformed into oil. The oil was captured in place on the seabed by thick layers of salt.

As the land in the modern Middle East region rose due to tectonic activity, the Tethys Ocean receded. What remained in its place was the sandy, dry Middle Eastern desert. But deep under the sand, the oily remains of billions of microscopic lifeforms still lie buried. Today, we suck these remains to the surface and use them to power our automobiles, in addition to many other gizmos of modern life."

                                     HAWAII INFORMATION

"There is no oil or gas activity in Hawaii due to limited crude oil and natural gas reserves. ... For example, in 2013 there was an increase in the price of natural gas, making it economical to extract natural gas that previously had been too expensive to extract."

Take this information of both the Middle East and Hawaii to form sentences of a basic claim. (Why does the Middle East have oil but not Hawaii?) Then, take the evidence I've given you and reason with it. Give brief explanations.

You said no links, so I'll just give you the names of the websites to cite. You can read through the websites if you need more information.

Ballotpedia "Oil and gas production in Hawaii"

Hope this helps! Have a fantastic day!
