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.

1) Based on the map which of these appears to be MOST true?
Mrac [35]
  • The most true statement is that <u>D) </u><u>Shia Muslims</u><u> appear to be the </u><u>minority group</u><u> within </u><u>Islam</u><u>.</u>

  • The best explanation for the split between Sunni and Shia is that it was over<u> D) A </u><u>disagreement </u><u>over the</u><u> leadership</u><u> of the</u><u> Islamic  world</u><u> </u><u>after </u><u>the </u><u>death </u><u>of the </u><u>prophet Muhammad.</u>

The map is not included but it is accurate that the Shia are a minority in Islam because:

  • Sunnis comprise 87%  - 90% of all Muslims
  • Shia comprise 10% - 13% of all Muslims

The Shia are therefore heavily outnumbered by the Sunni who have used their dominant position to occasionally marginalize the Shia.

The reason the Shia and the Sunni split was because they could not agree on who would lead the Muslims after the Prophet Muhammed died. Sunni wanted a man named Abu Bakr to lead and the Shia wanted Ali ibn Abi Ṭalib.

In conclusion, Islam has two main denominations which are the Sunni and the Shia but the Sunni outnumber of Shia who had split from the Sunni because they could not accept their choice for Muhammed's successor.
