against other persons and the government. True False 5 / 5 pts Question 28 The Commonwealth of Virginia passes a 30% tax upon the estate of a deceased person. William Blackstone and Joseph Story would view this as a permissible government action. True False 0 / 5 pts Question 29 Your Answer: Explain in one sentence how the Commandment, “Thou shall not steal,” supports the idea of private property ownership. If you take possession of a piece of property and you do not have ownership (i.e. item is not a gift or the item belongs to someone else) of it you are stealing, but if you control the property and take something from it (e.g. crops, minerals, etc.) you aren't stealing since are taking possession of something you already own.

That which is not owned cannot be stolen, i.e. the commandment assumes private property ownership. 2 / 5 pts Question 30 Your Answer: Explain in one sentence how Jesus’s teaching on giving support the idea of private property ownership? Jesus, said, "It is more blessed to give than to receive" and as private property was entrusted to us by God, it is not owned by us, it is on loan from God for the purpose ensuring that all God's children have their "daily bread" as the right to property was in principle subordinated to the obligation to care for the weaker members of society. To give one must � rst possess (own), i.e. Jesus' teachings assume private property ownership.
