Explain what locke means when he says, “tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right.” support your answer with information from the text

With his definition of tyranny, Locke tries to explain that laws should be created to improve the lives of people. Otherwise, the common man will be oppressed under the rule of an oppressive ruler. He states that "where-ever law ends, tyranny begins." Any leader who is selfish and aims to satisfy only personal needs is a tyrant. He quotes King James I who says, "I will ever prefer the weal of the public, and of the whole commonwealth, in making of good laws and constitutions, to any particular and private ends of mine." Here Locke is stating that power should not be used to harass or suppress the people; the people should have a right to overthrow the monarch or the government if they feel that the growth and betterment of the country and its people is at stake. According to Locke, tyranny is the use of power in a way that stifles the rights of common men.

explanation:

the answer to your question is the introduction, because the main text is the body paragraphs, and the table of contents is used to locate paragraphs, and the conclusion is where you wrap up all your thoughts in the end.

based on the biblical principle philippians 4: 13 "i can do everything through christ who strengthens me." i agree that it is through him that we are given the strength to cope with every situation.

and based on the biblical principle proverbs 16: 32 "better to get angry slowly than to be a hero. better to be even-tempered than to capture a city."   i agree with the author of the passage to the extent that the nobility of heart demonstrates the strength of a person. those who are contemptuous, get angry easily and show their anger toward others are really weak, but those who are noble and make sure to not hurt other people and their feelings are strong people.
