How do Lockes criteria for exclusion compare with those of Socrates? How do their differences on this issue reflect their different political goals?

uses Locke’s Letter Concerning Toleration and Plato’s Republic.
this is the entire essay topic
 In “A Letter Concerning Toleration” Locke champions religious toleration in contrast with the restrictive practices of the churches of his day and the states that enforced these.  Socrates, by contrast,  practices intolerance In constructing his city in speech, suppressing the opinions about the gods prevalent among his contemporaries  (Republic 376c-403a).  Yet even Lockes toleration has its limits (beginning with intolerant religions, of course).  How do Lockes criteria for exclusion compare with those of Socrates?  How do their differences on this issue reflect their different political goals?

Please Read the Attached Reading ( Second Treatise, Ch. 1-11; 14; 18-19) then do the following:
Please make a post offering at least two thoughtful and substantive questions, reflections, or comments (QRCs) inspired by the material below.

– At least one QRC must explicitly identify a passage( quote a passage and then respond to it) from the reading attached that you found intriguing, confusing, enlightening, etc. to lift up for consideration. You should quote the passage in full in your post along with a clear citation so others can easily find it in the text, and briefly explain your reasons for highlighting this passage this can come in the form of substantive questions about, interpretations of, or challenges to the ideas expressed in the passage.

For the second QRC, you may choose to lift up another passage, but you are not required to do so. Instead you may choose to offer a more general question about the ideas under consideration, a reaction to the podcast lecture, an argument you are trying to work out, or a connection you have made, or events in the world.

In other words, each paper should have two clearly distinct QRCs, at least one of which lifts up a passage from the text.

Which U.S. Presidents were popular? Which U.S. Presidents were unpopular?

Your assignment is to choose two U.S. Presidents and assess their popularity (Excluding Joe Biden since his term just began).
