Which of the following best characterizes the difference between Locke and Nozick on the issue of unalienable rights?

a) Nozick thinks that I own myself, and that this means I may do whatever I want with myself — including, for instance, selling myself into slavery. Locke agrees, but warns that selling myself into slavery is unlikely to make me happy.

b) Nozick thinks that I own myself, and that this means I may do whatever I want with myself — including, for instance, selling myself into slavery. Locke disagrees. He thinks there are certain rights that I may not alienate, no matter how badly I might want to.

c) Nozick, as a libertarian, thinks that my right to liberty is the most important right, and so I could never alienate my liberty for any reason. Locke, on the other hand, thinks I can alienate my liberty for the purpose of protecting my life and property.

d) Both Nozick and Locke admit that there are unalienable rights. They disagree only about which ones are unalienable.

e) Nozick thinks that because our rights are a gift from God, we could never alienate them. Locke thinks we should sometimes alienate them, since they were given to us by God to use as we please.
