Answer: b) “The purpose of government is to protect the individual liberties of its citizens.”
Explanation:
According to John Locke, he only reason that people give up certain rights to the government is so that the government can protect their liberties as well as their properties and lives. This represents a social contract.
If the government is unable to do this then they have broken the social contract and can be recalled by the citizens of the country who will then put in another government that should be able to take care of them.
