Today, we turn to John Locke. On the face of it, Locke is a powerful ally of the libertarian.
今天 我们开始讲约翰·洛克。表面上看，洛克是自由主义的强力盟友。
First, he believes, as libertarians today maintain, that there are certain fundamental individual rights that are so important that no government, even a representative government, even a democratically elected government, can override them.
Not only that, he believes that those fundamental rights include a natural right to life, liberty, and property, and furthermore he argues that the right to property is not just the creation of government or of law.
与当今自由主义者一样，他首先认为有些基本的个人权利至关重要，以至任何政府，甚至代议政府，甚至民主选举的政府都无法剥夺。不仅如此，他还认为这些基本权利包括生命、自由和财产的自然权利，此外他还认为财产权不仅仅是政府或是法律的产物。
The right to property is a natural right in the sense that it is prepolitical. It is a right that attaches to individuals as human beings, even before government comes on the scene, even before parliaments and legislatures enact laws to define rights and to enforce them.
