i would say because his idea was that people had natural rights that the governor couldn't take away so it gave people more independence and more freedom
Can anyone answer this one
came up with the idea of natural rights
All people are born with the right to life, liberty, and property.
the battle cry of the French Revolution
The main idea of john Locke is that "the people" have the right to overthrow their government if said government is not acting on and for the needs of "the people". He believed that it is "the people's" right to choose their own government. He was a philosopher who believed in Natural Rights (life, liberty, and the right to property) which cannot be given or taken away by men, but given to and taken from us by God.
john Locke believed in natural an unalienable rights that everyone is born with. These rights are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.philosopher john lockes main ideas were to get people natural rights. rights that we are already born with and noone can't take away from us. the governments job is to protect those rights.
Thomas Hobbes (1651) and John Locke (1689) had the idea that the government cannot function as a strong system when power is shared or split between two or more groups.
That people were molded by their experiences
Thomas Jefferson incorporated John Locke's social contract theory in the Declaration of Independence to emphasize the importance of individual rights and the government's responsibility to protect them. Locke's idea that governments derive their legitimacy from the consent of the governed underpins the assertion that people have the right to alter or abolish a government that fails to uphold their rights. This philosophical foundation justified the colonies' break from British rule, framing it as a rightful response to tyranny and an affirmation of the principles of liberty and self-governance.
it depends,only on some people.
yes it did. it ensure lockes philosophy on inalienable rights. that idea influenced the founders from the beginning and it was given to its citizens
