According to him, man naturally has the virtues of love, compassion, sympathy, co – operation, kindness, etc. According to Locke, state of nature was peaceful and ideal because of kind and logical nature of man. All the men were equal and free in-the state of nature. They used to protect their life and property themselves and lived life as per their own wish.
At that time, there was no king, no subjects, no ruler and no ruled. This was a state of freedom but there were no chaos because people followed natural laws and laws of morality, but they explained the natural laws as per their own wish and reason.
