Ponce · Answer 2

The correct answer is A) Natural law required governments to protect citizens' rights to life, liberty, and property.

John Locke believed in "Natural law required governments to protect citizens' rights to life, liberty, and property."

John Locke (1632-1704) was an English thinker and philosopher. He wrote the book "Two Treatises of Government," where he referred to innovative ideas of man's natural rights and the social contract. He believed that the government should protect their citizens, their lives, property, and liberty, and citizens should obey the government. His ideas influenced independence movements such as the American Revolutionary War and the French Revolution.
