Explanation
★Correct matching: tacit consent with Locke, self-regarding and other-regarding action with Bentham, negative and positive liberty with Berlin, and the well-ordered society with Rawls, so the answer is I-c, II-d, III-b, IV-a.
★Tacit consent is Locke's device by which residence and the enjoyment of benefits imply agreement to government.
★The distinction of self-regarding and other-regarding action grounds the utilitarian limits of legal interference, developed in the Benthamite tradition.
★Isaiah Berlin, in Two Concepts of Liberty of 1958, separated negative liberty as absence of interference from positive liberty as self-mastery.
★John Rawls makes the well-ordered society, regulated by shared principles of justice, central to A Theory of Justice.
★The set ranges from classical contract theory to twentieth-century liberal philosophy.
