Locke argues for property rights by starting from assumptions about humankind's nature, and how these assumptions allow for private ownership of property. he believes that it is a natural right of mankind to preserve himself by eating, drinking, and doing things by taking from nature. he interprets it as an obligation that people have to god. basically, he believes that taking from nature to maintain self-preservation can lead a man/woman to having prperty over anything. He defends capitalism because he believes that land being owned and cultivated, uman happiness over is increased. so basically saying... the more you have he happier you are...
