This answers only question 4 in Hanover College's Locke reading: why people leave the state of nature. The explanation follows the accompanying Second Treatise, sections 123–127, with consent clarified by section 95 in a separately linked primary text. It is an interpretation of Locke's political theory, not an account of an observed prehistoric event, a biography, or present-day legal advice.
