“If a man in the state of nature is free, if he is absolute lord of his own person and possessions, why will he part with his freedom? Why will he subject himself to the dominion and control of any other power or institution? The obvious answer is that rights in the state of nature are constantly exposed to the invasion of others. Since every man is equal and most men do not concern themselves with equity and justice, the enjoyment of rights in the state of nature is unsafe and insecure. Hence, each man joins in society with others to preserve life, liberty, and property.

Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery... they are in a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience, and are left to the common refuge which God hath provided for all men against force and violence.”
John Locke -- Second Treatise of Government, 1690

In which document were the ideas in this passage best utilized/copied?

The Wealth of Nations

“The absurd distinction of ranks has made civilization a curse, dividing the world into voluptuous tyrants and cunning envious dependents, corrupting every class of people almost equally, because dignity is not associated with the fulfillment of the relative duties of life, but with status, and when duties are not fulfilled, feelings cannot gain sufficient strength to consolidate them as virtues, which are the natural reward. Nevertheless, there are some loopholes through which a person can climb out, daring to think and act independently; but for women, this is a Herculean task, as they must overcome the peculiar difficulties of their sex, requiring almost superhuman strength.”
Mary Wollstonecraft—A Vindication of the Rights of Woman

“The absurd distinction of ranks has made civilization a curse, and the world a stage for the ambitious or the cunning to play their tricks on. It has corrupted every class of people, because dignity is not associated with the discharge of the relative duties of life, but with the station, and when the duties are not fulfilled, the affections cannot gain sufficient strength to fortify them as the natural reward of virtue. Yet there are some loopholes, through which a man may creep out, and dare to think and act for himself; but for a woman it is a Herculean task, because she has to surmount the peculiar difficulties of her sex, which require almost superhuman powers.”
