Answer 1

John Locke argues that life in the state of nature was:

a peaceful coexistence in which each person followed the Laws of Nature.

Locke believed that while the state of nature does have its challenges, individuals are generally rational and capable of living in a state of relative peace, governed by natural law. However, it is worth noting that others, such as Thomas Hobbes, described the state of nature as "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." But in Locke's view, it was more about the potential for orderly coexistence based on natural rights.
