Locke believed that in the state of nature, where there is no established government, individuals may have natural rights but the absence of laws and a central authority leads to a lack of security and protection for those rights. An example of this can be seen when individuals have to protect their property on their own without a legal system or enforcement mechanism, leaving them vulnerable to attacks or disputes with others that may threaten their rights.
