The correct answer is "To secure these rights, governments are instituted among men."

John Locke believed that the government's aim was to help all people achieve equality of natural rights, and that the government is obliged to protect and defend its citizens.

Locke rejected the belief that some people were born to rule divinely over others simply because they belonged to a higher class. Locke firmly believed that even a monarchy should reign only with the consent of the people. His radical beliefs at the time made him a target for British monarchs who believed that average citizens should stay in their place and outside government activities.

zubka84 [21]

Leading European democracies in addition to the US were challenged by crippled economies and devastated landscapes from World War I. Governments were wanting a return to more isolation and policies which favored their own countries.

do you believe warfare should be used to gain more territory and add to the prestige of your country?

Leona [35]

No. Initially you gain riches from the resources found in those territories and yes you extend your sphere of influence farther and with it your power increases. Still. Eventually there will come a time when the people of those lands will rise up and demand independence. Through peaceful means at first but if not, they will resort to conflict that will be costly on both sides. Then it will all boil down to whether you want to hold on or release your hold on that territory. If you hold on, they will more determined to break free from that hold. That you gain something through war means you will lose it through war if you don't want to let go.
