4th and 5th Locke parphrased

Sect. 87 In a perfect state of nature, man would rule himself so that he may have life, liberty, and estate; but as the

                the world is not perfect, we must create the political society that has the power to keep order so that

                property is preserved and offenses are punished.

Sect. 88 To be able to be part of the society, one must give up part of their own rights and be willing to serve the

                society so that the commonwealth, or political society, is empowered to make laws and enforce discipline,

                and you know, war and peace.

Sect. 89 Within the commonwealth, one man is not personally entitled to executive power; instead the political

                society is authorized to make decisions

Sect 95. No one person has any more power than anyone else and can't take away the freedoms of others.

 

Sect 96.  When a group of people come together as a community and they become one, they must act under the

                decisions of the majority as one.

Sect 97. Everyone needs to contribute to the community for the benefit of the majority or else the community will

                cease to exist.

123: A man will give up his freedom when he is in a free but unstable condition and wants to join those who are

                united to preserve their own property under less freedom.

124: In order to establish a proper society, laws must be put in place or man will be dishonest

 

125: A known/indifferent judge must administer punishment to avoid bias

 

126: Authority is necessary in order to enforce legal action so as to prevent insubordination

(Sections 127-131)
Because enforcing laws and punishments of others is inconvenient to one man alone, we create a legislative and                 executive power to perform these tasks for the common person.
In their natural state, all of mankind is one community; in this community, man has the power to do whatever he      sees fit for the protection of the community and to punish crimes committed against the community.
Man gives up himself and conforms into society so that the rest of society can benefit.
He needs to provide for himself and not enjoy the conveniences so that he can relate more to the other members of                 society.
When you are part of a government body, you must shake off the defends which make society unsafe and uneasy,     and do what is rightly directing your leadership approach towards providing peace, safety, and public good           of the people.

132- There are several different types of government with different methods of choosing rulers, however they all                 come together in the sense that one power should not remain for too long and that the community can                 replace the leader if they please.

133- Locke uses commonwealth in it's most basic term as it relates to an independent community not necessarily     as a government.

134. The legislative body and the government is extremely powerful but only with the consent of the people.

135. The legislative body does not have the power to destroy or take away the inalienable rights or liberties of

                man.

136. People come together as a group and give their natural power to the legislative power to protect them and

                dispense justice.

137. You cannot give one or a few men all of the power because it let's them do whatever they want and you do not

                have the right to defend yourself from them, instead you need checks and balances.

138. A man can't truely own property if someone else, even the legislative power, is able to take it away without

                consent.

 

199. Usurpation of power is acceptable as long as it doesn't go to the extreme of tyranny (using one's power                 beyond right).

200. The difference between a king and a tyrant is the first uses his power for the good of the people and the

                second uses it for his own gain.

 

201. Although a monarchy is the common victim of tyranny, it can also present itself in all other forms of

                government.

 

202. When appointed to a position of power, a leader is expected to possess greater wisdom than the average

 citizen and should act accordingly.
