“But conquest is as far from setting up any government as demolishing a house is from building a new one in its place. Indeed, it often makes way for a new frame of a commonwealth by destroying the former but without the consent of the people, can never erect a new one.”

“Wherever law ends, tyranny begins.” -Locke
Perfectly concise. The violations of natural law is tyranny. Tyranny does not have to be from a despotic government. You can be tyrannized by your neighbor if he violates the laws that protect you both. Brilliant.

So far Locke has been one of my favorite philosophers to read. It is absolutely fascinating to see how the birth of liberalism and liberal ideas stem from Christianity and the idea that God created a natural law in which man is born free.
