Question

The English philosopher John Locke wrote that

Answer 1

Government is morally obliged to serve people, namely by protecting life, liberty, and property.

Answer 2

Answer:  According to natural law, all people are equal and have the same right to life, freedom and property.

Explanation:  John Locke was an English philosopher from the time of the Enlightenment and as such advocated that according to natural law, all people have the same rights, unlike the Church's teaching that all people under God's law are subordinated to a single absolute or dogma. He advocated the thesis that according to natural law all people have the right to influence the formation of a government, and that some of their rights are transferred to the government, as some kind of social contract. In this way, they create a legitimate political government that can be controlled under a social contract, in order to ensure stable conditions for their lives.
