Locke: State Rejected idea that people were 'subjects of the state'; a true state acts in peoples
interests.
Social Contract (voluntary) (based on reason); rational people would not submit
to arbitrary rule. If broken citizens can rebel (2nd am).
Limited gvt; state should serve individual. Should be limited by constitution &
procedures (separation of powers).
"Without law there is no freedom".
Friedan: State Legal change is the only realistic was to make progress; confrontation= counter-
productive.
Legalisation & official regulations should criminalise discrimination; protect
women.
Legal equality= tolerance.
Rawls: State Enabling state due to theory of justice (must guarantee a life worth living) & bc of
veil of ignorance (∴ must use state to increase equality).
State should increase condition of poor but NOT establish equality of outcome.
Mill: Economy Doesn't directly write about economy but bc of his free market ideas it can be
claimed he is pro the free market.
Income tax should be a flat tax (Thatcher).
Favoured inheritance tax; would increase equality of opportunity & assure
everyone works harder creating a more meritocratic society.
These 2 are a contradiction in terms. Bridge between classical & modern liberals.
