 A. John Simmons, in his book Boundaries of Authority (2016), offers a more self-consciously Lockean theory of territory. Simmons complains that all existing territorial theories—nationalist, self-determination theories, justice theories—tend to accept a version of Waldron’s (1992) supersession thesis, which is the view that historic rights (to land) weaken over time. Simmons rejects this view, arguing, like Locke, that all political authority, to be rightful, has to be grounded in consent. He holds that indigenous people were doubly wronged, because not only did they not consent to the state, but their collectively owned property was also wrongfully annexed. This line of argument reveals a significant difference between Lockeans (who have an historical argument about justice) and other theorists. Lockeans tend to think that rights in things—including rights in land—are heritable and do not disappear as the specific right-holders and wrongdoers die off, or when the property that they had is wrongfully taken from them.
