- Imagine living in a city that had no organized government, no laws, and therefore, no organized police presence at all. John Locke, an English philosopher, referred to this existence as living in a state of nature.
Consider and respond to the following questions:
1. What might be some advantages or disadvantages of living in a state of nature?
2. What rights, of any, might you expect in a state of nature?
3. What might people who are stronger or smarter than others try to do? Why?
4. What might people who are weaker or less skilled than others try to do? Why?
