Summary of philosophy of right (õiguse filosoofia kokkuvõte)
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.
Once the poeple hase given sovereginty to a monarc or elected body they have no right to take it
away again or go against its legislation
but they may set limits to the duration of a legislator's term in office
And they may overthrow a goverment which has acted unjustly or failed to respect the laws of
people (locke clearly has in mind here the illegal taking away property especially)
Peple have a right to form a new government instead of an unfunctional one. The new
government which will serve their best interests.
