In his own words…
(Paraphrase the quotations)
Hereby it is manifest that during the time men live without a common
power to keep them all in awe, they are in that condition which is called
war; and such a war as is of every man against every man. For war
consisteth not in battle only, or the act of fighting, but in a tract of time,
wherein the will to contend by battle is sufficiently known; and therefore
the notion of time is to be considered in the nature of war, as it is in the
nature of weather.
To properly understand political power and trace its origins, we must
consider the state that all people are in naturally. That is a state of perfect
freedom of acting and disposing of their own possessions and persons as
they think fit within the bounds of the law of nature. People in this state do
not have to ask permission to act of depend on the will of others to arrange
matters on their behalf. The natural state is also one of equality in which
all power and jurisdiction is reciprocal and no one has more than another.
It is evident that all human beings – as creatures belonging to the same
species and rank and born indiscriminately with all the same natural
advantages and faculties – are equal amongst themselves. They have no
relationship of subordination or subjection unless God (the lord and master
of them all) had clearly set one person above another and conferred on him
an undoubted right to dominion and sovereignty.
Every law the people have not ratified in person is null and void – is, in fact,
not a law.
It does not require great art, or magnificently trained eloquence, to prove
that Christians should tolerate each other. I, however, am going further: I
say that we should regard all men as our brothers. What? The Turk my
brother? The Chinaman my brother? The Jew? The Siam? Yes, without
doubt; are we not all children of the same father and creatures of the same
God?
When the legislative and executive powers are united in the same person,
or in the same body of magistrates, there can be no liberty: because
apprehensions may arise, lest the same monarch or senate should enact
any tyrannical laws, to execute them in a tyrannical manner.
No man can be judged a criminal until he be found guilty; nor can society
take from him the public protection, until it have been proved that he has
violated the conditions on which it was granted. What right, then, but that
of power, can authorise the punishment of a citizen, so long as there
remains any doubt of his guilt?
The principal aim of society is to protect individuals in the enjoyment of
those absolute rights, which were vested in them by the immutable laws of
nature.
You may choose to look the other way but you can never say again that you
did not know.
