Private property

John Locke proposes a view of freewill best characterized as compatiblism. The view he presents focuses heavily on the necessity of both liberty and motivation in true freedom. Ultimately, this view resembles libertarianism, but differs by elaborating on why people choose one decision over another. In traditional libertarianism individuals are free agents that make their own choices. As long as an individual’s ability to make choices is not restricted he is considered free. Locke disagrees…

John Locke was a political philosopher and social psychologist, often called the “Father of Liberalism”. He believed the right to government depended upon the people. He also claimed the natural right of man were the right to life, liberty, and property. Locke believed in religious freedom as well. He believed in an idea called “state of nature”. “State of nature” means all men are allowed to “order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds…

security guard did not have constructive possession of Marshall’s property because he did not have the special relationship required to establish constructive possession. One of the ways constructive possession is satisfied is if one has a special relationship with the employer. See, e.g., People v. Galoia, 31 Cal. App. 4th, 595 (1994) (finding no special relationship when a “Good Samaritan” lacked sufficient interest in the property being taken). Constructive possession is not met if one…

According to Locke, consent of the governed is essential for the government to function and act as a mediator for the citizens. This brings up the question of how people consent to their government, because only few people actually give their consent and therefore the government is not actually considered legitimate. Locke's argument is that tacit consent exists for this purpose of creating legitimate government since it would be impossible for every man to consent to a law. I do not agree with…

I am not convinced that Locke really thinks that the legislature is the supreme power. I believe that Locke thinks the executive is the supreme power. Locke begins off in chapter 14 by perceiving that, in any thoughtful society, circumstances will emerge that must be managed before the administrative can be amassed to give laws to them. In these cases, the executive may practice official right, or essentially "good judgment." The official is qualified to take activities that are outside the…

If Caterpillars Can Fly, So Can I is a compelling piece of writing that holds timeless information. This is one of the best books in the Caribbean on personal development. Alvin Day concluded that everyone like a caterpillar was born to fly regardless of their present conditions. The universe rewards people who know the secrets of the laws, and ignorance of the laws brings about ruin. The principles of the universal laws are not like social laws that can be broken without facing the consequences…

monarchy places all of its power in one person, which impairs the entire system. He also argues that since a monarch can encroach people’s property and life without redress the people lack incentive to contribute to the collective well-being of the society. Locke challenges the idea of an absolute monarchy based on the idea that an absolute monarch who abuses the “property” or life of any civil member is in violation of natural law. He suggests that to prevent this, authority should be placed in…

Inheritance money is when someone passes away and leaves you a lump sum of money. I feel I deserve the inheritance money because it would be in the best hands. I would spend it conservatively, make a better future for myself, and give back to my community and family. There are a millions ways to spend money on things but I would choose to invest it in better way. I would spend it conservatively for the stuff I want. I wouldn’t buy the most expensive looking things. I also wouldn’t spend the…

I live in Temecula and for many years, I had not seen the essence of having an estate planning attorney to help me with my estate and trusts. This was not until my dear friend, Robby, died in a car accident without any will or clear guidelines of how his estate would be handled upon his death. In addition to the grief that his family suffered, they also had to deal with several creditors who practically made their lives a living hell. Eventually there were a lot of wrangles between the family…
