Answer 1

D is not correct

Explanation: Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain "inalienable" natural rights. John Locke was an outspoken supporter of equal rights within a governed society. Locke emphasized the right to life, liberty, and property he was primarily making a point about the duties we have toward other people: duties not to kill, enslave, etc.

However, please preface that Locke also believed that only adult male property owners should have the right to vote.
