What
does

that
all
men
are
naturally
in
"a
state
of
perfect freedom
…within
the
bounds
of
the
law
of
nature"? John

statement
means

the
nature

all
the

king
makes
us
free
without limitations. 3.
What
does
Locke
have
to
say
about
human
equality? Humans
are
all
born
the
same,
Locke
is
saying
that
no
one
should
tell
us
that
we
are
lesser

mightier than
one
another. 4.
According
to
Locke,
who
has
the
right
to
create
a
new
government
if
the
old
government
fails? What
two
branches
of
government
does
Locke
appear
to
recommend? If
the
government
fails,
the
people
have
the
right
to
create
a
new
government.
Locke
recommends
the judicial
and
legislative
branches
for
this
matter 5.
Based
on
these
two
passages,
what
would
you
say
is
Locke's
main
idea? Locke
believes
that
all
people
are
made
equal,
therefore,
they
should
be
treated
equally.
Also,
when
it comes
to
the
government,
it
is
the
people
who
have
the
freedom
to
establish
a
new
one
if
necessary.

is
beneficial
to

happily
in

than

only
one
religion
at
war
with
itself. 4.

idea
about
religion

in
common
with
