Question 8 • NC-World History: Issues and Patterns

Which of these would be acceptable forms of government, according to Locke? Select all that apply.

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

Explanation

Locke believed government should rest on the consent of the governed and protect people's natural rights. A representative democracy can do this, and a constitutional monarchy can also do so when the monarch's power is limited by law. A dictatorship and an absolute monarchy concentrate power without those necessary limits.
