Apparently, Locke maintained that the natural rights must be safeguarded by the government in a state of nature. The right to own a private property is natural right, and therefore, people are free to own what they want provided that they maintain peace and preserve mankind in general. The property must be attained through labor on the condition that there is adequate property, and therefore, aiding them to survive and live a happy life.
