Abstract

The modern conceptualisation of the absolute property right has been observed in Locke’s Two Treatises of Government. In the Commentaries of the Laws of England, Blackstone also remarked on the characteristics of private property rights. The paper critically appraises the compatibility of the establishment of private property rights in a liberal state apparatus holding the attributes of absoluteness. The article follows a discursive method.
