John Locke Thomas Paine Lesson
John Locke Thomas Paine Lesson
• “But if a long train of abuses, prevarications, and artifices, all tending the
same way, make the design visible to the people… ‘Tis not to be wondered
that they should then rouse themselves and endeavor to put the rule into
such hands which may secure to them the ends for which government was
at first erected.” (Second Treatise)
• “But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably
the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute
despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government,
and to provide new guards for their future security.” (Declaration of
Independence)
