are UNALIENABLE (they can’t be taken away). In his writings, Bodin continued to argue that, the
sovereign could not be limited by human laws since whatever institution had the right to judge if the
law were being infringed would itself be the real sovereign (Butler 123).
For this alone, one must love Locke. (And how depressing, that a country that prides itself for its
