John Locke's ideas of individual rights, personal freedoms, and the ability to overthrow an oppressive, abusive, or otherwise corrupt government were heavy influences on the Founding Fathers during the creation of the U.S. Declaration of Independence.
When the Declaration of Independence was created the freedoms provided in it were really meant only for white land owners. While it says all men were created equal, it really should have said "All white landowners were created equal." The fifteenth and nineteenth amendment gave Blacks and Women the right to vote respectively.
Jefferson expresses his views very well in the Declaration of Independence. Other than that they are a philosophy and not laws.
The main argument of the Declaration of Independence is that the people of a land have rights and freedoms that should not be ignored by governments or rulers, and that if these "unalienable rights" are ignored, the people have the right to form a society of their own. In the case of the American colonists, they had decided that they were no longer willing to be subjects of the British king.
