Locke believes that there are certain fundamental individual rights that are so important that no government, even a representative government, can override them. Those fundamental rights include a natural right to life, liberty, and property . He argues that the right to property is not the creation of government or of law. The right to property is a natural right in the sense that it is pre-political. It is a right that attaches to individuals as human beings even before parliaments and legislatures enact laws to define rights and to enforce them. Hence, government cannot take a way the natural rights because they are part of the state of nature.

The right to overthrow the government and establish a new one.

John Locke argued the idea of a "social contract."  According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed.  So if the government was failing to attend to the rights and welfare of its citizens, citizens then had the authority to unseat that government and establish a new one.  This idea of Locke's was something the founding fathers of the United States relied on when they pursued independence from the British crown.

The views of Locke (and other Enlightenment theorists on the social contract) were a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler.  Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his<em> First Treatise on Civil Government</em>.  In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, which is more often referenced today,  argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.  This included the right to overthrow a government that trampled on those natural rights.

Bogdan [553]

Based on stringent criteria, research data indicate that the percentage of men between the ages of 18 and 59 with erectile dysfunction is 5 percent.

In this section, the main findings and trends from the First National Assessment of Potential Heat Network Zones utilizing the Strict screening criteria are discussed. This study is primarily concerned with the national level and is not exhaustive.

Determining spatial distribution - Strict

Using the more stringent screening criteria results in an even larger concentration of possible heat network zones within the core belt. This is as a result of the Stringent criteria' requirement for a larger demand density in the prospective zone, which puts more of an emphasis on metropolitan regions.

The Baseline potential heat network zone and the Stringent potential heat network zone have been compared in some cases.
