Abstract
This is the ending chapter that resumes the book and the formula for the responsibilities proposed that better protect the environment for our own short-time preservation while also protecting private property rights from government interference. It resumes each chapter starting from the need to change the definition of property and the restrictions already inserted into the legal system, the important of the protection of property rights with all its advantages, the comparison to the system of communal sharing and the choice of responsibilities. It further gives an overview of the responsibilities proposed. The final ending is the continuation of the forbidden love story between the main source and Lady Masham who might have just taken part of some of the main ideas for his texts and even in the Glorious Revolution.

Notes
- 1.
For Tully, ‘The kind of exclusive right which Locke develops is the uniquely English concept of the use which a trustee is said to have in another’s property. The central aspect of this is ‘the cognition of the duty of a person to whom property has been conveyed for certain purposes to carry out these purposes’’ (Holdworth (1926, IV, 410, cited in Tully 1980, 122). ‘The trustee is also said to have a property in the use. The condition of the trustee corresponds to man’s existential condition in using his property’ (emphasis added) (Tully 1980, 122).

For Tully, ‘[T]he common remains common and the persons remain tenants in common’ (emphasis added) (Tully 1980, 122).

For Tully’s interpretation of a right of use, see in Hiller Marguerat (2014, 239).

This love story is taking part in a new book I’m working on after properly collecting all the evidence. So I hereby reserve all the rights on this revolutionary love in advance.
