How did John Locke influence the U.S constitution?
John Locke was a great influence on many of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison included. Locke identified the basis of a legitimate government whereby a ruler gains authority through the consent of the governed. The duty of that government is to protect the natural rights of the people, which Locke believed to include life, liberty, and property.
