Thomas Jefferson borrowed John Locke's ideas but rephrased Locke's definition of natural rights from "life, liberty, and property" to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." This change emphasized the notion of individual fulfillment and personal well-being, which has significantly influenced American values and culture. By focusing on the pursuit of happiness, Jefferson framed the American dream as an attainable goal, shaping the nation's identity and aspirations.
