Ideas in this flowchart

  • La propriété acquise par le travail est limitée par l’usage raisonnable.
  • Objection : la collecte des fruits de la terre pourrait permettre à chacun d’en accaparer autant qu’il le souhaite.
  • La même loi de nature qui établit la propriété en fixe aussi les limites.
  • Le travail permet de s’approprier les choses nécessaires aux avantages de la vie.
  • Cette appropriation est conditionnée par la possibilité d’utiliser les biens avant qu’ils ne se gâtent.
  • Ce qui dépasse cet usage constitue plus que sa part et appartient aux autres.
  • La raison, confirmée par l’inspiration, affirme que Dieu a donné les biens pour qu’ils soient utilisés.
  • Rien n’a été créé par Dieu pour être laissé à la détérioration ou détruit.
  • L’abondance des provisions et le faible nombre de consommateurs limitaient les conflits de propriété.

"It will perhaps be objected to this, that if gathering the acorns, or other fruits of the earth, &c. makes a right to them, then any one may ingross as much as he will. To which I answer, Not so. The same law of nature, that does by this means give us property, does also bound that property too. God has given us all things richly, 1 Tim. vi. 12. is the voice of reason confirmed by inspiration. But how far has he given it us? To enjoy. As much as any one can make use of to any advantage of life before it spoils, so much he may by his Tabour fix a property in: whatever is beyond this, is more than his share, and belongs to others. Nothing was made by God for man to spoil or destroy. And thus, considering the plenty of natural provisions there was a long time in the world, and the few spenders; and to how small a part of that provision the industry of one man could extend itself, and ingross it to the prejudice of others; especially keeping within the bounds, set by reason, of what might serve for his use; there could be then little room for quarrels or contentions about property so established."
