Land reforms would reduce aggression and unease within the population

The law should not allow people to own an excess of land, as defined by the Lockean proviso. If the law allows people to own an excess of land it should be amended. The law is not legitimate if it allows excessive property ownership because to be legitimate, the law must be to the advantage of the community. It is not helpful if people are permitted to control all the land.

Property rights are useful provided they do not establish (and maintain) land tyranny, in which case they will be overthrown.To prevent the occurrence of violent riots and the overthrow of the existing arrangement, inequality should be addressed.

There will be no riots if there is land reform.
