Answer:

False

Step-by-step explanation:

John Locke believed that if the government failed to provide their natural rights, then the people have the power to overthrow the government. Locke views natural rights as given to the human by birth and by God, cannot be taken by the government or monarch. Locke states that people should be free to make choices about how to manage their own lives as long as they do not intervene with others.
