john Locke probably had the biggest influence on the Declaration. In his book, Two Treatises on Government, he said that the three basic rights of man were life, freedom, and property. Thomas Jefferson adjusted this slightly into the famous statement, "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness."
