Summary of philosophy of right (õiguse filosoofia kokkuvõte)
an individual adds his own physical labor, which is his own property, to a foreign object or
material, that object and any resulting products become his property as well.
One converts a ting into one's property by adding labor to it (e.g. If there is a publick forst and
one collects wood from it, the wood becomes your property)
One has no right to waste(If you pick apple from a tree it becomes yours, but you cannot pick
more apples than you can use)
Since one can covert property into gold, hovever, one can accumulate an unlimited amount of
wealth (since the gold, unlike the apples, cannot spoil)
(VI-XIIX); XIX
Locke identifies three elements necessary for a civil society: a common established law, a
known and impartial body to give judgment, and the power to support such judgments. He
calls for a government with different branches, including a strong legislature, and an active
executive who does not outstrip the lawmakers in power.
