John Locke believed that all free men had the right to life, liberty, and property.

So, any efforts by a Government to rob a citizen of life, liberty, or property, such as a King taking away land, would be unacceptable.

John Locke's philosophy dwells upon the idea of political liberalism and certain natural rights: life, liberty and private property. Locke also stated that the government that the moral obligation to protect those rights and the liberties of the individuals including the ownership of the property and fruits of their individual labor.

An example of an unacceptable political action would be A king forces farmers to send him most of their crops to be distributed among wealthy nobles, because farmers would be denied the fruits of their labor and the government would not be granting them their individual rights.
