Answer 1

John Locke would have agreed with all of the following statements EXCEPT:

D. Government should have the authority to suppress the will of its citizens if it deems it to be crucial to society.

Locke's philosophy emphasizes the protection of individual rights and limited government power, which opposes the idea of suppressing citizens' wills. He believed that government should operate with the consent of the governed and prioritize the protection of life, liberty, and property.
