An example of this can be seen when individuals have to protect their property on their own without a legal system or enforcement mechanism, leaving them vulnerable to attacks or disputes with others that may threaten their rights.


Why did Rene Descartes influence John Locke?

Descartes influenced Locke because Locke adopted Descartes' idea of the mind as a blank slate tabula rasa, which became a foundational concept in Locke's theory of empiricism.
