Question

Explain one way in which the ideas of adams support or reject the ideas of john locke

Answer 1

Both Adam Smith and John Locke were liberals. That means they both believed in the importance of the freedom of individuals and that this should be achieved by the lowest possible interference of the State on private affairs.

Liberalism is the idea that a healthy society is that in which freedom is the most important value. In the economy that means the State doesn't intervene in the market, and in politics that means the State must not intervene in the lives of the individuals.
