Q:explaining the significance of the following passage.
John Locke"Secondly, In the state of nature there wants a known and indifferent judge, with authority to determine all differences according to the established law of nature, man being partial to themselves, passion and revenge is very apt to carry them too far, and with too much heat, in their own cases; as well as negligence, and unconcernedness, to make them too remiss in other men’s."
A: This passage talks about the natrual state of men. Everyone is equal towards judgement, or law. And men have common disadvantages such like extreme moods. Pointing out the basis condition of human, the writer can logically continue discussing his view on government depend on it.
