A group of indigenous people of the Amazon rain forest have protested the takeover of the land their ancestors have occupied for centuries by Joe Smith, who is clearing the land for timber and to create pasture for grazing his cattle. Which of the following policies would Locke most likely endorse regarding who the legitimate owner of the land is?
   a.   The land belongs to Joe Smith because he has cleared it with his own labor and turned it to profitable use.
   b.   The land belongs to the indigenous people because they have lived there for centuries without disturbing nature and, hence, are better stewards of the forest.
   c.   All land belongs to the state rather than private individuals because God gave humans the land to hold in common.
   d.   No humans should be living in the Amazon rain forest; instead, it should be kept in a state of nature.
