Governments claim unique authority--the power not only to compel individuals, against their will, to act (or forbear from acting), but to do so legitimately.
The power to suspend is the power to keep one's will from being determined, that is, the power to forbear willing to do A if one wills to forbear willing to do A. This is just one part of the freedom to will to do A, according to Locke's definition of freedom of action applied to the action of willing to do A. (The other part is the power to will to do A if one wills to will to do A).
If one thinks perceptively and carefully about what to pursue (or shun) and do (or forbear from), one can readily understand and assent to practical propositions such as that life and health, knowledge, and harmony with other people are desirable for oneself and anyone else.
In their Supreme Court briefs, the states acknowledged that the president had wide authority over immigration matters, telling the justices that "the executive does have enforcement discretion to forbear from removing aliens on an individual basis".
At most historic parks, the costumed employees either present themselves as present-day guides, describing in modern parlance what their forbears used to do, or they take on the guise of permanent residents of the past, caught in an unchanging time capsule and unaware of anything that has transpired since, say, 1585.

The attitudes of respect, then, have cognitive dimensions (beliefs, acknowledgments, judgments, deliberations, commitments), affective dimensions (emotions, feelings, ways of experiencing things), and conative dimensions (motivations, dispositions to act and forbear from acting); some forms also have valuational dimensions.
Arbitrary government power--government power to compel members of the public to act (or forbear from acting) on the basis of the mere will of the politically powerful--is contrary to the Constitution's fundamental premises.
The worry here is that Locke holds that the objects of volition are actions or forbearances, so the man would need to be described as willing to forbear from falling.
