Influential Political Thinker John Locke Influential Political Thinker

I. Unalienable & Equal Rights Unalienable rights-rights that cannot be taken away from anyone, for example freedom of speech Equal Rights- The belief that all persons, regardless of sex, race, ethnicity, age etc. have the same rights as everyone else.

-What is happening in the painting? -Which principles of democracy are illustrated in this painting? (equality, natural rights, liberty, unalienable rights) “The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which treats everyone equally..[B]eing equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, or possessions.”

-What is happening in this painting? -How does this painting relate to the concept of unalienable rights? Equal rights? Flag with Male Symbol By Dave Cutler “The old traditions are apt to lead men into mistakes, as this idea of fatherly power’s probably has done, which seems so eager to place the power of parents over their children wholly in the father, as if the mother has no share in it. Whereas if we consult reason or the Bible , we shall find she has an equal title.” –John Locke

II. Limited Gov’t & Consent of Governed Limited Gov’t- A gov’t that does not have absolute authority. Consent of the Governed- The political theory that government gain their power from the people. A government is not legitimate if the governed does not give their consent.

What is happening in the picture and how does it relate to the topic of limited Government? “ Whensoever …the government shall…put into the hands of any other an absolute power over lives, liberty, and estates of the people, by this breach of trust they forfeit the power of the people …who have the right to resume their original liberty, and by the establishment of the new government provide for their own safety.” -John Locke

Answer the following questions How do you think John Locke would respond to Norman Rockwell’s painting? Dave Cutler’s? How would John Locke respond to the events of Tiananmen square? Are all rights equal or are some more important than others? How do we balance a limited gov’t with the protection of equal rights?
