Document Summary
All of our basic problems arise from a general conflict of interests. Insubordination needed to establish a social contract and civil authority. Start from truthful foundations and you can buil something more certain. We are all equal in the son natural distinctions, some may be born into inferiority. We are all equal because we"re god"s property, we have a duty to understand this. We can"t own people, must treat them as equal because we"re god"s property. Natural law you have no right to commit suicide because you can"t damage someone else"s property. Only have the right to proportional punishment because we are all equal, it"s the same for all of us everyone can escape the son. People keep their contracts i the son because it"s reasonable to do so. Punishments are never justly proportionate which is hwy we need civil government.
