Abstract

The relation between property and political rights in the works of John Locke has been extensively studied. On the one hand, one can find positions, such as those of Kendall and Tully, which attribute a democratic character to the Lockean concep-tion of civil society. On the other, there are interpretations such as that of Ashcraft which assign to it a revolutionary and egal-itarian bias, similar to that of the Levellers. However, in the light of a series of documents, it is possible to challenge these interpretations, as different interpreters (in particular Wootton, Wood, Vaughn, and Marshall, amongst others) have already partially done. It will be shown here that Locke assumes that the parliamentary debate is the responsibility of those who, rep-resenting different productive sectors, discuss the promotion of their activities and that the workers, not having the education necessary for the deliberation of public affairs, are not consid-ered to participate in the parliamentary exercise but only in ex-ceptional resistance.
