Question

Which of the following best captures how Aristotle might respond to Locke’s claim that the purpose of politics is to secure life, liberty, and property?

a) Politics has nothing to do with securing life, liberty, and property.
b) In defending the natural rights to life, liberty, and property, Locke overlooks the sense in which rights come from convention.
c) Although a political community should not neglect the life, liberty, and property of its citizens, securing such things is not the primary purpose of politics. More important is the goal of cultivating virtue.
d) Locke is correct, but he misinterprets the right to property as a right to use and abuse whatever possessions one has justly acquired.

Answer 2

Broadly speaking, liberty is the ability to do as one pleases. It is a synonym for the word freedom. In modern politics, liberty is the state of being free within society from control or oppressive restrictions imposed by authority on one's way of life, behaviour, or political views.
