  5 1  |      eldest house, and to have the right of inheritance:~All these
  6 3  |        POWER, then, I take to be a RIGHT of making laws with penalties
  7 4  |         understand political power right, and derive it from its
  8 4  |          appointment, an undoubted right to dominion and sovereignty.~
  9 7  |            whereby every one has a right to punish the transgressors
 10 7  |        every one must needs have a right to do.~
 11 8  |            upon this score, by the right he hath to preserve mankind
 12 8  |           ground, every man hath a right to punish the offender,
 13 9  |        them to resolve me, by what right any prince or state can

 15 10 |           damage, has, besides the right of punishment common to
 16 10 |            other men, a particular right to seek reparation from
 17 11 |            the like offence, which right of punishing is in every
 18 11 |         magistrate hath the common right of punishing put into his
 19 11 |          suffered the damage has a right to demand in his own name,
 20 11 |        service of the offender, by right of self-preservation, as
 21 11 |            committed again, by the right he has of preserving all
 22 11 |    convinced, that every one had a right to destroy such a criminal,
 23 12 |   countries, which are only so far right, as they are founded on
 24 16 |          and just, I should have a right to destroy that which threatens
 25 17 |          that which is against the right of my freedom, i.e. make
 26 18 |       using force, where he has no right, to get me into his power,
 27 19 |          an appeal gives a man the right of war even against an aggressor,
 28 19 |            my own defence, and the right of war, a liberty to kill
 29 19 |           of nature: force without right, upon a man's person, makes
 30 20 |           begun, continues, with a right to the innocent party to
 31 20 |       having no appeal on earth to right them, they are left to the
 32 21 |            earth, to determine the right between Jephtha and the

 34 26 |     another can no longer have any right to it, before it can do
 35 27 |       person: this no body has any right to but himself. The labour
 36 27 |           that excludes the common right of other men: for this labour
 37 27 |           no man but he can have a right to what that is once joined
 38 28 |            they became his private right. And will any one say, he
 39 28 |        will any one say, he had no right to those acorns or apples,
 40 28 |          any place, where I have a right to them in common with others,
 41 30 |           before it was the common right of every one. And amongst
 42 31 |          of the earth, &c. makes a right to them, then any one may
 43 32 |         Nor will it invalidate his right, to say every body else
 44 34 |           s pains, which he had no right to, and not the ground which
 45 36 |          way, to intrench upon the right of another, or acquire to
 46 36 |          larger possessions, and a right to them; which, how it has
 47 37 |          of corn; though men had a right to appropriate, by their
 48 37 |   neighbour's share, for he had no right, farther than his use called
 49 38 |     spoiled, that was his peculiar right; whatsoever he enclosed,
 50 39 |         there could be no doubt of right, no room for quarrel.~
 51 42 |         increase of lands, and the right employing of them, is the
 52 45 |           in the beginning, gave a right of property, wherever any
 53 45 |            disowning all claim and right to the land in the others
 54 45 |            to their natural common right, which originally they had
 55 46 |            common, every one had a right (as hath been said) to as
 56 46 |            life he invaded not the right of others, he might heap
 57 50 | governments, the laws regulate the right of property, and the possession
 58 51 |   largeness of possession it gave. Right and conveniency went together;
 59 51 |       together; for as a man had a right to all he could employ his
 60 51 |            for encroachment on the right of others; what portion
 61 52 |          obligation nature and the right of generation lays on children,
 62 54 |          in hand, being that equal right, that every man hath, to
 63 60 |           possibly have the use of right reason to guide themselves,
 64 61 |        contenders for monarchy, by right of fatherhood, cannot miss
 65 61 |        doctrine all true, were the right heir of Adam now known,
 66 61 |            or sovereignty he had a right to, or gave away his empire

 69 67 |       which the father hath in the right of tuition, during minority,

 71 69 |      dispossess the mother of this right, nor can any man discharge
 72 69 |      property, or actions; nor any right, that his will should prescribe
 73 70 |        these give no authority, no right to any one, of making laws
 74 71 |         children, and have as much right to their subjection, as
 75 73 |           of these by any peculiar right of fatherhood, but by the
 76 74 |            was not by any paternal right, but only by the consent
 77 74 |          which, as a man, he had a right to: and he alone could punish
 78 76 |            titles in their fathers right, and it be a sufficient
 79 76 |    sufficient proof of the natural right of fathers to political

 81 78 |      common off-spring, who have a right to be nourished, and maintained
 82 82 |           contract is her peculiar right, and gives the husband no

 84 83 |   magistrate cloth not abridge the right or power of either naturally
 85 85 |          in a just war, are by the right of nature subjected to the

 87 88 |         magistrate, he has given a right to the common-wealth to
 88 91 |  determination of controversies of right betwixt them, there they

 90 91 |         judge of, or to defend his right; and so is exposed to all
 91 91 |           him to determine his own right, and according to his own
 92 93 |         more hurt and wrong, it is right when he does it. To ask
 93 95 |        wherein the majority have a right to act and conclude the
 94 100|      Secondly, It is impossible of right, that men should do so,
 95 103|    governments begun upon paternal right, I think (though at best

100 113|            be so free as to have a right to command others in a new
101 115|        that it was not the natural right of the father descending
102 118|           as well as by the law of right reason, that a child is
103 123|           of nature he hath such a right, yet the enjoyment of it
104 124|      consent to be the standard of right and wrong, and the common
105 126|          support the sentence when right, and to give it due execution,
106 127|          this we have the original right and rise of both the legislative
107 135|        therefore can never* have a right to destroy, enslave, or
108 136|          own case: and he that has right on his side, having ordinarily
109 137|             and by stated rules of right and property to secure their
110 137|            liberty to defend their right against the injuries of
111 138|         property, they have such a right to the goods, which by the
112 138|       their's, that no body hath a right to take their substance
113 138|         that, which another can by right take from me, when he pleases,
114 140|         that, which another may by right take, when he pleases, to
115 143|         power is that, which has a right to direct how the force
116 149|            they will always have a right to preserve, what they have
117 150|            the society, but by the right it has to make laws for
118 151|        when he violates, he has no right to obedience, nor can claim
119 151|         without will, that has any right to obedience; the members
120 153|            time comes, they have a right to assemble and act again.~
121 155|        with the people, who have a right to reinstate their legislative
122 155|        consists, the people have a right to remove it by force. In
123 158|          in all places that have a right to be distinctly represented,
124 158|           those places have a just right to be represented which
125 158|      reason, those cease to have a right, and be too inconsiderable
126 159|         the common law of nature a right to make use of it for the
127 162|            who made no other but a right use of it, that is, for
128 163|           prince any thing that of right belonged to him, but only
129 163|           in government can have a right tending to any other end:
130 164|    prerogative belonging to him by right of his office, which he
131 164|            occasion to claim their right, and limit that power, which,
132 166|           good of the people was a right in them to do, for the harm
133 166|       could recover their original right, and get that to be declared
134 166|         society should ever have a right to do the people harm; though
135 168|          when this power is made a right use of one answer: between
136 168|         that which they have not a right to do. And where the body
137 168|          man, is deprived of their right, or is under the exercise
138 168|        exercise of a power without right, and have no appeal on earth,
139 172|           another, where he has no right; and so revolting from his
140 172|         their's, to be his rule of right, he renders himself liable
141 172|            and his own life, has a right too to the means of preserving
142 176|     unjustly invades another man's right, can, by such an unjust
143 176|          war, never come to have a right over the conquered, will
144 176|         robbers and pyrates have a right of empire over whomsoever
145 176|        appeal, till he recover his right. But the conquered, or their
146 176|          have recovered the native right of their ancestors, which
147 176|         heaven must be sure he has right on his side; and a right
148 176|           right on his side; and a right too that is worth the trouble
149 177|      supposing victory favours the right side, let us consider a
150 177|             and that William had a right to make war on this island;
151 179|            yet this alters not the right; for the conquerors power
152 180|           but he has not thereby a right and title to their possessions.
153 180|           any more ado, conveyed a right of possession. But when
154 180|          be, is seldom the rule of right, however it be one part
155 182|          nor has the conqueror any right to take them away, by the
156 182|           perhaps he may have some right to them, to repair the damages
157 182|         and the defence of his own right; which how far it reaches
158 182|          he that by conquest has a right over a man's person to destroy
159 182|         pleases, has not thereby a right over his estate to possess
160 182|         that gives his adversary a right to take away his life, and
161 182|            title to his goods. The right then of conquest extends
162 182|            with reservation of the right of the innocent wife and
163 183|       could be supposed, he has no right to seize more than the vanquished
164 183|            being born of me, had a right to be maintained out of
165 184|           be able to dispute their right. But if that be all, it
166 184|           is strongest will have a right to whatever he pleases to
167 185|          hath, by his conquest, no right of dominion: they are free
168 186|           but the enquiry is, what right he has to do so? If it be
169 186|         extorted by force, without right, can be thought consent,
170 186|          force, I still retain the right of, and he is obliged presently
171 186|            him, and I have still a right to retake him. By the same
172 186|          the force, and passes the right, when I put my hand in my
173 187|             against whom he had no right of war, or who joined not
174 187|          against him, where he had right, has no obligation upon
175 189|    arbitrary power, he has no such right of dominion over their children.
176 190|          man is born with a double right: first, a right of freedom
177 190|           a double right: first, a right of freedom to his person,
178 190|            in himself. Secondly, a right, before any other man, to
179 191|          in, he must also quit the right that belonged to him by
180 192|            free consents, retain a right to the possession of their
181 192|          constraint, have always a right to shake it off, and free
182 192|           no government can have a right to obedience from a people
183 193|      conqueror in a just war has a right to the estates, as well
184 194|       persons are free by a native right, and their properties, be
185 194|         has not the one of these a right to his thousand acres for
186 194|            understood, that I have right, if I please, to take it
187 196|            cause, has a despotical right over the persons of all,
188 196|         the war against him, and a right to make up his damage and
189 196|      estates, so he injure not the right of any other. Over the rest
190 196|          them, and has no better a right of principality, he, nor
191 196|        power, which force, and not right, hath set over any one,
192 197|          an usurper can never have right on his side, it being no
193 197|     possession of what another has right to. This, so far as it is
194 197|           his power beyond what of right belonged to the lawful princes,
195 198|           methods of conveying the right to them. Whoever gets into
196 198|           have prescribed, hath no right to be obeyed, though the
197 199|        power, which another hath a right to; so tyranny is the exercise
198 199|           exercise of power beyond right, which no body can have
199 199|           which no body can have a right to. And this is making use
200 202|           who by force invades the right of another. This is acknowledged
201 202|      estate, should thereby have a right to take away any of his
202 202|          should from thence have a right to seize, when he pleased,
203 202|          of authority is no more a right in a great, than in a petty
204 202|         knowing in the measures of right and wrong.~
205 203|         and but imagine he has not right done him? This will unhinge
206 206|          authority, that gives the right of acting; and against the
207 207|            law of nature gave me a right to destroy him, who had
208 208|          power obstructed; yet the right of resisting, even in such
209 208|          cases, though they have a right to defend themselves, and
210 208|           taken from them; yet the right to do so will not easily
211 220|            the native and original right it has to preserve itself,
212 220|          that they have not only a right to get out of it, but to
213 222|            the people, who. have a right to resume their original
214 224|           treated, and contrary to right, will be ready upon any
215 228|            him who defends his own right, but on him that invades
216 230|            disposed to suffer than right themselves by resistance,
217 232|       Whosoever uses force without right, as every one does in society,
218 232|         cease, and every one has a right to defend himself, and to
219 233|        this case the people have a right to resist and defend themselves
220 235|            over him, that he has a right, when he prevails, to punish
221 237|          wherein the people may of right, and by their own authority,
222 238|         transferring any the least right to those on whom he would
223 239|        were subjected. The peoples right is equally invaded, and
224 239|            this only have they the right of defence. And there are
225 241|           is true, is judge of the right. But every man is judge
226 243|     society, and the people have a right to act as supreme, and continue
