According to Locke, we can say that a law that violates our rights is one that prejudices life, liberty, and property for selfish purposes and does not bring about improvement for the majority of the population.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • Locke asserts that the governor must act under the will of the majority of the population.
  • Furthermore, the governor, with few exceptions, cannot interfere in people's lives, liberty, and property.
  • However, if an interference needs to be made, it must be to help the majority of the population.
  • Therefore, a law that undermines these essential rights with selfish goals and that does not seek to improve the population is unfair and should not be approved.

In "Reflections on the Revolution in France," we can see that Burke addresses issues such as supporting church interference in state affairs, supporting the monarchy and British rule, and critique of democracy and republicanism. According to these themes, we can see how Burke was a pro-imperialist person.
