The Key to John Locke Learning about Locke's theories on limited government, unalienable rights, equal rights, and the consent of the governed

Warm Up Read John Locke’s biography, or read more about him on the internet. Be prepared to discuss Locke’s beliefs on government, and why we still care about it today.

Warm Up Use the information you just read to answer the following questions 1. What are 3 of John Locke’s beliefs about government? 2. What U.S. document(s) are based on the idea of Locke? 3. How can Locke’s influence be seen in this document?

Key Words and Ideas Explain what you think these concepts mean: 1. consent of the governed 2. natural rights 3. state of nature 4. unalienable rights

Key Words and Ideas Explain what you think these concepts mean: 1. consent of the governed 2. natural rights 3. state of nature 4. unalienable rights --the idea that to rule, one needed to have the consent of the people they were governing, instead of just ‘divine rights’ --the rights of life, liberty and protection of property that everyone is born with --the state in which people live where everyone is equal and you should not harm anyone or steal from someone else since this violates their given natural rights --from the Declaration of Independence “the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness”

Connecting Ideas Consider what you have learned about John Locke and his concept’s of rights (unalienable and equal rights) and government (consent of the governed) as you view the following paintings and photographs.

Norman Rockwell’s The Problem We All Live With What is happening in this painting? Which principles of democracy are illustrated by this painting? (Equality? Natural rights? Liberty? Unalienable rights?) Explain.

Dave Cutler’s Flag With Male Symbol What is happening in this painting? Which principles of democracy are illustrated by this painting? (Equality? Natural rights? Liberty? Unalienable rights?) Explain.

Tiananmen Square, 1989 What is happening in this photo? How does this relate to limited government?

Study Guide Complete the study guide by reading the following quotes from John Locke and then rewriting them in your own words to reflect their meaning. Then rate how much you agree or disagree with what Locke is saying on a scale of 1 to 5.

Journal Entry Using the terms, limited government, unalienable rights, equal rights and authority from consent, discuss or write a journal entry responding to the following questions: How do you think John Locke would respond to Norman Rockwell’s painting? Dave Cutler’s? How would John Locke respond to the events in Tiananmen Square? Are all rights equal or are some more important than others? How do we balance a limited government with the protection of equal rights?
