The year is 1776. the family of philosopher john locke has brought a lawsuit against thomas jefferson for copying locke's ideas. locke's family claim that jefferson's "declaration of independence" plagiarizes locke's ideas from two treatises on government. you are the judge ruling on the case. you must research how jefferson's ideas compare to locke's and determine whether or not jefferson is guilty of stealing locke's ideas. your paragraph opinion (a court document explaining how you arrived at your decision on a case) should contain the following: explain at least 2 ideas of jefferson and locke that are similar explain at least 1 idea of jefferson that is different from locke's determine whether or not jefferson is guilty of plagiarism explain why or why not ~~ you don't have to do the work for me but i really would like some with this, you !

The defendant, angered because a rival gang member had twice beaten him up after school, obtained a heavy lead pipe and waited in a deserted alleyway which he knew the rival took as a route home every day after school. when his enemy came walking down the alley, the defendant leapt out behind him and smashed the pipe into the victim's head, knocking him to the ground. the defendant then rolled the victim over and pounded his face with 15 to 20 heavy blows with the lead pipe, killing him. the jurisdiction defines first degree murder as murder committed with premeditation and deliberation. all other murders are defined as second degree murders. why will the defendant be convicted of first degree murder (as opposed to second degree murder)?
