Commenting on advocates of absolute governmental power, Locke writes, “This is to think that Men are so foolish that they take care to avoid what mischiefs may be done them by polecats, or foxes, but are content — nay think it safety — to be devoured by Lions.” What exactly does Locke advocate as an alternative and on what grounds does he think this alternative would be able to ward off polecats and foxes, while at the same time avoid being devoured by lions.
