Which european philosopher believed that the purpose of government is to protect natural rights? a. john locke b. adam smith c. baron de montesquieu d. jean-jacques rousseau?

The answer is  John Locke. One of the most influential philosophers, the advocate of natural law, by which all humans are by nature the same, and against the claim that God subordinated all people to the monarch. So all men are equal before the law and the government, and they have the right to life, freedom and property, and the foundation of these rights is outside the law of any social organization. Locke was the advocate of a legitimate political government, as a kind of treaty between the government and people, in which people naturally could transfer some of their natural rights to the government, thus providing themselves with a stable and comfortable enjoyment in their lives, freedom and property. The government would thus promote the natural rights of people, guaranteed by law, and promote the public good, and people could always replace the government if it does not work in the public interest.

1- in bradbury's  fahrenheit 451, all books are banned and burned upon discovery. in the nazi germany, books considered to be subversive to the regime would be burned to keep the population from generating ideologies that could challenge nazism.

2- was bradbury correct in his literal interpretation of  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.”? in some way, yes. when knowledge is not only limited, but also controlled, the people tied to it are led to their demise. just like in the novel, people in nazi germany who owned  subversive books were punished not only by the burning of their property, but also by the discrimination that followed after such a public form of consequence. if a person was seen being confiscated  subversive  books, they may be considered as an ally to the jews, which meant pretty much the same as being the enemy back then. because of the extreme exclusion and suffering that followed this punishment, it's almost like dying a slow death.

in this way, the phrase  “where they burn books, they will also ultimately burn people.” is both literal and figurative.
