Question 3 • BPHS Modern World History

According to Locke, what happens when legislators take away property?

Answer
A
People may become more supportive of the government.
B
People have the right to stop doing what the government says.
C
People are more likely to give the government more power.
D
People may decide to return to a more natural state.

Explanation

Locke argues that government is formed to protect people’s natural rights, including property. If legislators take away property without consent, they violate the trust placed in them, so people are no longer obligated to obey that government and may resist it. Thus, the correct choice is “People have the right to stop doing what the government says.”
