The concept of natural law expresses that there are certain moral truths that apply to every person, regardless of where they're from or their beliefs. The concept of natural rights expresses that certain natural rights are given to each person, and these rights can't be taken away from the individual except by his consent

Because of this, "the state of nature is distinct from political society, where a legitimate government exists, and from a state of war where men fail to abide by the law of reason."

While there are certain obligations and rights that all people have from the law of nature, special obligations come about only when we consent to them.

He also states that countries must follow natural law and can punish one another for violations of that law to protect their citizen's rights

He also believed that force is no way to bring people to salvation.]]> 2018-10-01 05:19:37 UTC https://padlet.com/sll012001/o6mi19iyvxzr/wish/287438806 sll012001 https://padlet.com/sll012001/o6mi19iyvxzr/wish/287441753 John Locke, a 17th century Englishman, is said to be the “single most important influence that shaped the founding of the United States.” Locke acknowledged the self-interested nature of humans in his political ideas, and believed in the ability of the people to avoid tyranny using reason. In his Second Treatise of Government, Locke identifies what makes a legitimate government. According to Locke, “a ruler gains authority through the consent of the governed” and that “the duty of the government is to protect the natural rights of the people, which Locke believed to include life, liberty, and property. He also stated that citizens of a government which fails to protect their rights would have the right to overthrow that government. This concept influenced Thomas Jefferson as he drafted the Declaration of Independence. In the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States, Locke's idea of the separation of State and Church is once again re enforced. ]]> 2018-10-01 05:47:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sll012001/o6mi19iyvxzr/wish/287441753 sll012001 https://padlet.com/sll012001/o6mi19iyvxzr/wish/287442352
