What, according to Locke, is the 'only way whereby one divests himself of [his] natural liberty'? What does Locke's treatise imply about the nature of monarchies and other authoritarian governments?
The Online Library of Liberty notes: "Although it would not be correct to say that Locke favored democracy, he did advocate limits on the power of the sovereign, confining that person's authority to the protection of the individual's natural rights to life, liberty, and property."
