The concept of the state of nature significantly influenced the Founding Fathers by shaping their understanding of individual rights and the role of government. Philosophers like john Locke argued that in a state of nature, individuals possess natural rights to life, liberty, and property, which governments are created to protect. This idea informed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, emphasizing the protection of these rights as the core purpose of government. Consequently, the Founding Fathers sought to establish a system that balanced power and safeguarded individual freedoms against tyranny.
