All Men Deserve Natural Rights

John Locke (E. Kalander)

Hello, my name is John Locke. I was born on August 29th of the year 1632 in Somerset England. Because of my fathers close connection to the English government, I was able to enroll at Westminster School in London, and then later received education at Christ Church in Oxford. Due to my upbringing and my studies of medicine and logic, I truly believe at all men are born good and deserve natural rights, those including the right to life, the right to liberty, and the right to property. The government of any country has an obligation to its people to protect these natural rights and should not have complete control. In fact, if the government fails in protecting its citizens, said citizens should have the right to overthrow it. With all this said, I am not against the government, though I believe we should learn to accept it and use it to our advantage.
