When legislators (lawmakers) try to destroy or take away the property of the people, or try to reduce them to slavery, they put themselves into a state of war with the people who can then refuse to obey the laws. When legislators try to gain or give someone else absolute power over lives, liberties, and property of the people, they abuse the power which the people had put into their hands. According to Locke, what may happen when legislators destroy someone's property? People may become enslaved to the government. People may stop doing what the government says. People may give the government more power. People may decide to return to the state of nature.

People may stop doing what the government says.

Explanation:

According to John Locke's 1690 "Two Treatises of Government," he justifies common man's revolutions like the Glorious Revolution and the change in England's government. He also argues and addresses what exactly constitutes the role of the government in society and how it is dependent on the people more than the ones in official power.

In the given passage from the text, Locke emphasizes that if the legislators "destroy or take away the property of the people, or try to reduce them to slavery, they put themselves into a state of war with the people who can then refuse to obey the laws." This means that the people, who comprise the hand behind the ones who are in power, have the right and chance to stop doing what the government wants and expects them to do. This is a result of the government acting against the interest of the 'citizens' who made them the power.

Thus, the correct answer is the second option.
