This episode discusses the hat trick of logic played by John Locke in chapter 7 of Second Treatise. He sets out a deductive argument that purports to prove that a democracy that requires a unanimous vote before any proposal becomes law is a logical impossibility, that is, such a democracy cannot exist.
