The culture thinkers state ideas similar to each other with reasoning towards freedom, individuality, and women's rights. The enlightenment took place in the 17th and 18th centuries that was all about individualism. The culture thinkers main idea is to have freedom and make correct decisions in life. Mary Wollstonecraft, John Locke, Adam Smith, and Voltaire are similar to each other by having the opinion of people to have the rights of freedom of choice. John Locke believed that there will be laws of nature, and every individual gets to decide. John Locke states “A state with perfect freedom.. within the bounds of the law of nature.” That connects to the fact of individual rights, its up to the individual to decide whether to do the bad thing
“All men are naturally born in a state of perfect freedom, equal and independence to act how they want to. The state of nature has a law that governs it. This law of nature requires that no one should harm another in his natural rights life, liberty,and property.” John Locke said that all people are born with rights and that we should work together to keep our rights.
While reading the “The Second Treatise of Government,” you can notice and see that John Locke has a strong standing for civil rights as well as helping with the development of the Constitution of the United States. He states that the “consent of the governed,” is basically saying that communities are not put together by the divine right or ruled by. Paternal, familial, and political are types of powers that John Locke mentions that have all have unlike characteristics. He inspired others to believe in and want equal rights and democracy. John Locke talks about the state of nature, which basically states that no one has the power to be ruler of someone, as well as they are able to do what they want in a freely matter. In other words people are born just like anyone else that is born, and should have equally rights to property, health, and liberty, and that no one should have the power over anyone. Everyone should be able to live and enjoy his or her own freedom and wellbeing. However, the state of nature is not a guarantee to have natural laws, which could help with the protecting of one’s property. According to him having your own personal freedom was the true meaning of state of nature. John Locke thought that people were following his faith in human rationality through the declaration of Locke. John Locke states that if the government takes away from others for them to empower them then the people have right and opportunity to go against

John Locke was the man who began to express the idea of natural rights. The idea of natural rights is that all humans are born with three natural rights: life, liberty, and property. You are meant to respect these rights, which gives us limits as humans. For example, one can not just rob someone’s house without consequences. If someone does commit theft they are punished because they are
John Locke’s Second Treatise on Government presents a contrast of ideas comparing the law of nature and the government. Locke begins to explain the meaning and purpose behind the law of nature. Locke states that the law of nature teaches us that all mankind is equal and has the right to independence. No one is allowed to harm another's life, liberty, health and possessions. Locke exclaims how one man does not hold a higher status than another man. With that being said, a man must learn how to preserve the rest of mankind. Every man has the right to initiate punishment and “be executioner of the law of nature”. Although as the excerpt moves to chapter nine, Locke discusses why one would give up their freedom in order to join a society with others.

Locke’s main discussions of freedom took place in his work entitled Two Treatises on Government. These views were built upon the view of a natural state in which every individual maintained a state of natural freedom. In this natural state, each individual was free to make decisions and choose actions without any constraints. Locke felt that under this view every individual should maintain equal and independent and refrain from harming one another. However, the main problem in this concept of freedom is that fact that an individual’s free will can be constrained by the actions of another.
“The right of nature is the liberty each man hath to use his own power, as he will himself, for the preservation of his own nature; that is to say, of his own life.”-Thomas Hobbes… Two strong-minded men concluded two different outlooks on the same question at hand which is,” What is the state of nature like?” Locke’s outlook on the question at hand was simply that every man is equal, no man is higher in rank then the next and every man are responsible for himself and his actions. Locke felt like if we were all, “ promiscuously born to all the same advantages of nature” then no one has authority to feel above anyone else unless the Lord and/ or Master of them all should make that declaration. Hobbes, on the other hand, feels as if we are not entitled to natural rights and that the better mess of life in the state doesn’t justify the state. From the two
John Locke believed all individuals to naturally be free, equal, and independent (Locke, Second Treatise of Government 52). He believed that no individual could have his property removed from him and be under a political rule that was not agreed on (52). In order to live in a safe environment where one’s property and wellbeing are protected, one must agree to live in a community with other people; being
Locke regarded humans naturally in “a state of perfect freedom to order their actions” (Locke Two treatises ex.4). Along with this comes unbounded indulgence of the benefits of law of nature whereby men “has by nature a power, not only to preserve his property, that is, his life, liberty and estate, against the injuries and attempts of other men; but to judge of, and punish the breaches of that law in others” (Locke Two treatises ex.87). In addition, “it was not good for him to be alone, put him under strong obligations of necessity, convenience, and inclination to drive him into society” (Locke Two treatises ex.77). Locke views that the formation of government “derive[d] from God’s will” (Dunn 2003, p. 37) and originated from men’s need to protect their property as a collective, where a common
Locke expressed his unique view of the state of nature through his Second Treaties on Civil Government with full belief that it did in fact exist and is at the origins of civil society. Locke took a very different approach when deriving his state of nature , he first began with his own personal beliefs on the social conditions of the time then blended them with traditional Christian views on God and natural law. God was a key aspect in Locke’s sate of nature. Locke believed that humans were Gods property since God created them. Therefore no man had a right to harm another or themselves but instead is born to fulfill their highest duty. Locke believed that by nature man was a social creature and that we were bound by morals, he stated contracts were able to form on the basis that men are obligated to keep their promises. Locke says these contracts were the basis for society today, as we know it and we are bound together by moral obligations. Like Hobbes, Locke also discusses the idea of Law of Nature. Unlike Hobbes however Locke did not believe that the law of nature was written in the hearts of men. (Locke 1952). Locke believes that the law of nature is instead discovered through the use of reason and is not an innate idea. He believed that it was reason that leads us to the law of nature and that rights were collective and not individual. Locke believes that humans knew what was right and what was wrong well enough to solve conflicts. They were also capable of recognizing what was theirs and what was not; unfortunately they did not always act in accordance to this knowledge. The content of the law of nature in found within nature through our senses, Locke writes about the law of nature in the Second Treatise saying
Locke believed that the law of nature would govern the people and if someone causes harm to someone else the person offended has the right to punish the offender and take reparation for the offense. “For these two distinct Rights, the one of Punishing the Crime for restraint, and preventing the like
John Locke linked human behavior with our nature. He argued in his works that men are governed and guided by the rules within our nature. “The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, which obliges every one, and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions.” (2nd Treatise.6) Even without any manmade laws that specifically guide us what and how to do a certain thing, we are programmed to follow basic rules mutually understood by every human on Earth. Locke brought up that these rules discourage, in fundamental, people from gaining power by depriving that of others. He noticed, by specifically employing the word mankind, that the ability to accept and live by this rudimentary rule is the ultimate characteristic that makes us who we are. It is the ability to respect other’s
