According to John Locke:
A. The role of the state is to punish crime and protect the natural rights of its citizens.
B. The state operates as a limited liability company; true sovereignty lies with the individual.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer C
Both the protection of natural rights and the restriction of state power belong to Locke’s political thought. The limited-liability-company analogy expresses the state’s restricted purpose: individuals establish government to protect their rights, rather than surrendering themselves to unlimited political authority.
