The Founding Fathers of the United States were heavily influenced by john Locke's ideas, particularly his concepts of natural rights, government by consent, and the social contract. They adopted Locke's belief that individuals possess inherent rights to life, liberty, and property, which became foundational in the Declaration of Independence. Additionally, they emphasized the importance of a government that derives its power from the consent of the governed, reflecting Locke's view that people have the right to alter or abolish oppressive governments. This philosophical foundation helped shape the principles of democracy and individual rights in the new nation.
