He believes that the form of government should be similar to natural right in that each individual has inalienable rights the government cannot talk away. Once the government abuses it´s power, the people can and will protest to create a new more fair form of government.]]> 2019-08-30 21:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378805391 dh_mdong https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378805777 John Locke has confidence that the power of the government should be in the hands of the people. Life, liberty, and freedom should not be harmed significantly by the government. If the people were to ever feel the government is being abusive with its given power, the people have the right to carry out with their inalienable rights and establish some sort of new government or overthrow the previous one.]]> 2019-08-30 22:01:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378805777 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378824831 I think John locke believed that there should always be a government to lead a country but if the government uses their power to help themselves instead of for the people's good, then the people should act against them in the form of protest.]]> 2019-08-31 02:11:20 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378824831 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378986728 2019-09-01 19:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378986728 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378986730 John Locke believes that the power of the government should lie in the hands of the people. He wants the government to be elected by the people, and if the government ever abuses its power, the people have the right to overthrow this government. Locke believes that natural rights are rights that are inherently given to us- life, liberty, and property. These rights should not be denied or threatened by either the government or any other member of the state.]]> 2019-09-01 19:13:29 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/378986730 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379001890 John Locke believed that the government's role was limited and that the government was ultimately in the hands of the people. If the government abused its power, the people had the right to protest and establish another government that could protect them and meet their needs. Locke also thought that each individual had unalienable rights that the government could not take away and that the government should treat all citizens equally.]]> 2019-09-01 21:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379001890 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379037732 John Locke supported a government that runs based on the consent of the people and provides the people with liberty and safety.

Locke also believed that the government was in no position to take away a person's unalienable rights and give another person "absolute power" over everybody else. If this were to happen, the people are more than allowed to come together to form a new and improved governmental system.]]> 2019-09-02 03:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379043126 dh_sjacob https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379249025 I think that Locke believed that the government shouldn't control most aspects of citizens lives. He believed that citizens should be treated equally. He also believed that people have to consent to actions that the government takes. He believed that citizens have a right to overthrow and reestablish a new government if their government breaches trust and takes citizen's lives and rights into their own hands.]]> 2019-09-03 00:52:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379249025 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379290493 I think Locke thought that a government should be for the people. This means that the government should do what is right based on the peoples' needs, but only if given consent by the people. The people have natural rights that allow them to do certain things, and these rights should also be protected against the government. Locke also believed that if a government was acting with absolute power or the people lose their say in the government, then that government is to be overthrown. The people then can choose their new government.]]> 2019-09-03 04:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379290493 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379297289

He believed the government ruled based on the consent of its people and could not act against or in opposition to the popular opinion. If the government decided to act against the people, Locke believed that people had the right to overthrow and create another government that would protect them. He also believed that everyone was born with natural rights which could not be taken away from them.]]> 2019-09-03 05:39:51 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379304723 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379316458 John Locke strongly believed that the government was made to protect the rights of the people. He believed that people are the bulk of society, so if they are not satisfied with something that is happening then they should be able to institute some change. He also was a big believer in the natural rights that people were born with. For example: freedom of speech and freedom of religion.]]> 2019-09-03 06:38:37 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379316458 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379318629 Locke believed that the government was built on the foundation of the belief of the people. Without the people, there wouldn't be a government in the first place - if the people choose to not believe in certain policies, they should be able to change and adhere it to their liking. Natural rights are rights that everyone is born with, and some of these rights include the right to speak out against the government and worship whoever they want. When these rights are violated, then there is always public outcry which can be managed in many different ways. John Locke would believe that everyone is politically equal and starts at a common platform which starts with natural rights, and when those are violated, then it is an injustice. ]]> 2019-09-03 06:47:03 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379318629 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379660698 John Locke belieed that the government ]]> 2019-09-03 21:19:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379660698 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379712136 According to Locke, the role of the government was to protect the rights of those who are being governed. Locke believed that a government must have the consent of the governed in order to be "legitimate" and that the governed have the right to overthrow any government that is infringing upon any of their natural rights. Locke believed that every person should be treated equally and that everyone is entitled to certain unalienable rights at birth, such as the right to the pursuit of happiness.  ]]> 2019-09-04 01:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379712136 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379723538 John Locke 's idea was that the government was there to make the best decisions for the people and for the nation. He also believed that the government should not have total control over its people because every person has inalienable rights that could not be taken away. And should the government try to take those rights away, the people have the right to overthrow the government and start a new system. ]]> 2019-09-04 02:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379723538 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379757102 John Locke believed that the government was created in order to protect the people and their rights. He said that if people didn’t agree with something, then they should be able to change the government and shape it the way they want it to be. He also strongly believed in natural rights- rights that people were born with. For an example, freedom of speech and religion. If these natural rights were violated by anyone then the government was considered unjust. ]]> 2019-09-04 05:29:50 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379757102 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379760625 Locke believed that the government should be elected by the people of that country. When the officials make it into the office, they hold power over the people, including their lives, liberty and trust. If the governmenet betrays this trust or are unjust in any way, then the people can get that person out of office (recall or impeachment). 
Natrual rights, as Locke explains it, are something that every human is allowed to have and those rights are unalienable. They can never be taken away from anyone, no matter their sex or race. ]]> 2019-09-04 05:51:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379760625 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379765124 John Locke believed that everyone has the natural right to be treated equally and that no one should harm or steal from others. He believed that government is built upon the consent of the people, who can vote on laws and elections. People ultimately have a voice, and if the government takes away this right or, in some other way, violates the natural rights of the citizens, then they have the right to rebel and break free to form their own government in which they do have a voice.]]> 2019-09-04 06:14:26 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/379765124 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/380220110 Locke's main idea was that all humans should be treated with respect and equality. He thought the government should always put its people before itself. Locke thought that due to the fact that people obtained inalienable acts, they should not be controlled. Without the consent of the people, the government is abusing its power and therefore should not be in the position it is in. The people should be able to have a voice in what they believe in, and what they stand for.]]> 2019-09-05 02:33:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/380220110 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/381124706 John Locke believed that ]]> 2019-09-06 21:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/381124706 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/381128078 Locke believed that every individual, not factoring race or others factors, should have equal rights. Locke also believed that the government should provide the rights given to the people in a fair way and ensure that everyone has equal rights and is able to exercise them fairly. Natural rights were rights that an individual was born with and able to use throughout life. These natural rights were made by the government and were expected to be fair towards everyone.]]> 2019-09-06 21:57:08 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/381128078 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/381128235 Locke believed that the if the government are not making decisions for the peoples betterment then they have the right to get them out of office . ]]> 2019-09-06 21:58:24 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/381128235 https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/383058026 I think that Locke's big idea was that the people reserve the right to form the government, in which if they wish to overthrow due to misrepresentation, they may wish to do so. He also believes in the natural rights that citizens retain, as it is one of the core principles of the Declaration of Independence. When a foreign authority overtakes the government in such way that does not forward the society holistically, rebellions and riots may be taken place. In this ways, Locke's theories strongly suggest that the right to govern remained with the citizens and it was in their hands to form a government of their choice]]> 2019-09-12 03:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/kchamberlain5/ij1k4mw0ass4/wish/383058026
