First, reconstruct Locke\u2019s <span style=\"cursor: auto;\">initial <\/span>arguments for why magistrates cannot perform such tasks, and then his <span style=\"cursor: auto;\">subsequent<\/span> arguments following the quote. We mentioned in class, that although England has no formal separation of Church and State and, despite the constitutional regulations placed on the head of state (the King is the head of state and head of the Church of England and the country has a national religion to this day), Locke was concerned that a theocracy not be established in England. This would result in the abrogation of the rights of people in the pursuit of their religion.
