Question

Holly Brewer defended this philosopher in an essay partially titled for “Inheritable Blood” that argues he morally opposed a document in which he wrote about a class of “leet-men.” He’s not Rousseau, but this thinker wrote that slavery is only permissible if the enslaved violates natural law (10[1])and that no contract (10[1])can create slavery. This philosopher and his patron, the Earl of (10[1])Shaftesbury, (10[1])wrote a document protecting slaveholders’ (-5[1])rights in the Fundamental Constitutions of Carolina. (10[1])In another work, this thinker argues that governments should protect “life, liberty, and estate.” (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])name this English Enlightenment author of Two Treatises of Government.
