explain as fully and critically as you can the connection between
Locke's doctrine that "every Man hath a Right to... be Executioner of
the Law of Nature" and his observation that "... the measure of
Property, nature has well set, by the Extent of Mens Labour, and the
Conveniency of Life." In one to two pages, compare and contrast Locke's
position on this matter with Hobbes's doctrine that, "in the first
place, I put for a general inclination of all mankind, a perpetual and
restless desire of Power after power that ceaseth only in death" and
that consequently everyone has an equal "Right of Nature." Be sure to
identify the key textual passages, define and develop the key principles
and problems and the most telling practical and political consequences
of their positions. Make the contrasts vivid and discuss whether these
apparent differences are based on fundamental disagreements or reflect
relatively different practical or political judgments.
