Question
3. What does Locke mean when he says,
*the enjoyme
of rights in the state of nature is unsafe and insecure?"
Can you think of an examples of this?
Answer
Locke means that in the state of nature, where there is no government or authority to enforce laws and protect individual rights, people are at risk of having their rights violated by others. This can lead to a state of constant conflict and insecurity.
An example of this could be a situation where two individuals have a dispute over property rights. In the absence of a government or legal system to resolve the dispute, they may resort to violence or other means to try to claim the property, leading to a dangerous and unstable situation.
