Classical liberalism is usually associated with the work of :

  • A.J.S. Mill
  • B.Jeremy Waldron
  • C.John Locke
  • D.John Rawls

Answer: C

Classical liberalism is usually associated with John Locke.

Locke's Two Treatises of Government (1689) set out its core: natural rights to life, liberty and property, government by consent, limited government that holds power on trust, and a right to resist a ruler who breaks that trust. Later classical liberals such as Adam Smith built on this base.

J.S. Mill stands at the turn from classical to modern liberalism, while Jeremy Waldron and John Rawls are twentieth-century theorists; Rawls in particular is the leading voice of egalitarian, welfare liberalism.
