I typically read the forum in "sound bites" and rarely have time to understand the differences between Locke and Hobbes. I am however reading the 2nd treatise of government and see where Locke sees government as supporting and reinforcing natural law. I do know that Locke and Montesque both had a profound influence on our founders and the creation of The Constitution. While I can't debate the nuances between the Liberal thought of the time, I can clearly see how far modern liberalism has taken us from our founding principals, not kicking and screaming as we should be doing, but coaxing us down the Road to Serfdom all the wile telling us how much "better" things will be.
