Who argued that 'life, liberty and property' are inalienable rights of men ?
Answer: D
The argument is Locke's.
In the Second Treatise of Government (1689), John Locke holds that people in the state of nature have natural rights to life, liberty and property (estate), and that government is formed by consent to protect them. A government that violates these rights may be resisted.
Hobbes allowed only the right of self-preservation against an absolute sovereign, Rousseau located rights in the general will, and Aristotle had no theory of inalienable individual rights. The trio of life, liberty and property is Locke's.
