People have rights as soon as they are born, and the government has a duty to protect these rights.
Kings and Queens should be the absolute power in society, controlling all facets of government.
Trade should be controlled by the wealthy upper class.

Answer 1

John Locke promoted and taught the idea that people have rights as soon as they are born, and the government has a duty to protect these rights.

Answer 2

People have rights as soon as they are born, and the government has a duty to protect these rights. But let's be real, Locke was really invested in the idea of government protecting our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. He wasn't so much into the government protecting our right to eat unlimited amounts of ice cream, although I think that's a right we can all get behind.

Answer 3

The idea that John Locke promoted and taught was that people have rights as soon as they are born, and the government has a duty to protect these rights.

Answer 4

The idea that John Locke promoted and taught was that people have rights as soon as they are born, and the government has a duty to protect these rights. To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the options given and eliminate those that do not align with John Locke's beliefs based on your understanding of his philosophy. In this case, option 2 aligns with Locke's idea of individual rights and government's responsibility to protect them. By the process of elimination, you can conclude that the correct answer is: People have rights as soon as they are born, and the government has a duty to protect these rights.
