The Opening and The Evidence 1.5.11/ 1.10.11

Hello my peers, my name is John Locke, and this is my blocke. As you all may know, I believe in giving power to the people! I believe in a moral society. In this society the people have the right to vote for their government. They also have the right to be ruled by a  government that fights for and protects their natural rights, if the government is not doing what is in their best interest they then have the right to revolt and overthrown their government.

Now, heres some of the ways the these days power is given to you guys... the people. In our presidential elections our nation believes in letting the citizens vote for their new president as apposed to letting a third party do the choosing.This is why in the most recent election there was a vote. Also, Not only in a presidential election but in other elections as well the people are given the chance to share their preferences by voting for what ever the election being held is for. In relation to these elections the people have the right to have a government that looks out for their best interest. For example President Nixon made mistakes in his terms as president, as a result of this the people tried to impeach him for not doing what was in their best interest. They had the right to do this to him, but he avoided the impeachment by resigning from his role as president. Another way you can think about my theory on social contract is when a "star" or famous person does something that is deemed "not appropriate" they have the pressure of their fans and the media on them. this may cause that individual to stop making appearances in places. In a way this can be related to the overthrowing of a large figure. That is just another way to relate my theory of social contract to something other than the government. Now, I believe in a moral society. One example of attempts of a moral society these days is the volunteering and philanthropy. By this I mean all the peoples efforts for helping out others. For example the volunteers in Haiti after the earthquake. The people in the Peace Corps, and all the Make a Wish Foundation. These are all examples of people doing good and that shows steps towards a moral society.
