HONORS: Questions on Locke's "Second Treatise of Government"

After turning in our Influential People Projects, we read an excerpt from John Locke's Second Treatise of Government in class today. Students were asked to answer the following questions as their Do Now for 3/23:

*Please answer in complete sentences.*

According to Locke…

1. What is the “state of nature”?
2. What difficulties do people face in the state of nature?
3. What are man’s three “natural rights”?
4. Why do people form governments?
5. What does a law need in order to be “legit”?

You can find the entire Second Treatise here.
