Question 8 • 670201 World History S1 – MYERS, JOSHUA A

Which of these would be acceptable forms of government, according to Locke? Select all that apply.a dictatorship a representative democracy a constitutional monarchy an absolute monarchy

Answer
A
a dictatorship
B
a representative democracy
C
a constitutional monarchy
D
an absolute monarchy

Explanation

Locke argued that government must rest on the consent of the governed and protect people’s natural rights, with its power limited by law. A representative democracy and a constitutional monarchy can meet those conditions. A dictatorship and an absolute monarchy place unchecked power in one ruler, so they do not fit Locke’s principles.
