John Locke influenced Thomas Jefferson about inalienable rights.
He based his "unalienable rights" on the work of English Philosopher John Locke.
According to Thomas Jefferson, the rights that the government cannot take away are called "unalienable rights." These rights include life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Jefferson believed that these rights are inherent to all individuals and should be protected by the government.

The statements made in the beginning of the Declaration of Independence are from the philosophy of john Locke. His philosophy was revolutionary because people had no rights for anything. Only kings had rights.
Thomas Jefferson wrote about unalienable rights in the Declaration of Independence. The idea was adapted from the philosophy of John Locke.
The 3 "unalienable rights" mentioned by Thomas Jefferson in the American Declaration of Independence are: Life Liberty Pursuit of Happiness Note that Jefferson did not say that these are the ONLY unalienable rights; he said that these 3 are AMONG our rights. Unalienable, or inalienable rights are those that we human beings have just by our nature. They are not granted by govenment or any other institution, and they can not be taken away; they can only be violated.
