About this listen

 In this episode Professor Houlgate explains John Locke's discussion of the great variety of governments that can be legitimately formed by the people; for example, democracy, oligarchy and even monarchy, so long as a majority of the people desire this. Second, Locke makes a recommendation about the extent (limits) of legislative power, although he says nothing about the limits of political power enshrined in the first ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution.
