a group of people make the rules,or the majority { mainly there are 3 types of government possitions [ 1. the one who makes laws, 2. the one who judges, 3. the one who punishes]} it is like democracy. finally, john Locke is believed Tobe the father of modern democracy.IMPROVED ANSWER:John Locke's Treaties on Civil Government were a defense of the English Revolution of 1688, against James II. His argument that describes, "Everyone should be allowed to enjoy certain basic rights, particularly the rights to life, liberty, and the ownership of property," is the important point of the Social Contract.When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence, he incorporated Locke's point of view.
Thomas Jefferson drew on the ideas of which English philosopher when writing the declaration of independence?
John Locke, whose idea was "Life, liberty and property." (Property meaning land.)
What rights were the authors of the Bill of Rights primarily concerned about?
The Anti-Federalists, including Thomas Jefferson, thought that the Constitution was unfair. They were afraid of a strong central government; the Anti-Federalists did not want to ratify the Constitution, so, in order to make it fair for the Anti-Federalists, the authors of the Constitution added the Bill of Rights. Richard "thinks" he's good in basketball, he's okay, but he can't beat the Monster (that's me). And we can chat through here. The accurate is that the authors were enshrining "Natural Rights". Sir William Blackstone defines this very well. John Locke in his two treatise on Government, brilliantly elaborates this. The mysterious 9th Amendment (mysterious to people of today- obviously it wasn't mysterious the those who wrote it), this is a clear reference to "Natural Law" in general. Understand the Bible, then understand Locke and Blackstone, then understand the Declaration of Independence (Laws of Nature and of Nature's God) and the Constitution (In the Year of our Lord-- deliberate language).
According to the declaration what is the purpose of government?
In the second paragraph of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson clearly stated that the primary purpose of government is to secure our rights: We hold these truths to be self-evident that all Men were created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable Rights, that are among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness - That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.Jefferson derived the most famous ideas in the Declaration of Independence from the writings of English philosopher John Locke. Locke wrote his Second Treatise of Government in 1689 at the time of England's Glorious Revolution, which overthrew the rule of James II.Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain "inalienable" natural rights. That is, rights can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are "life, liberty, and property."Locke believed that the most basic human law of nature is the preservation of mankind. To serve that purpose, he reasoned, individuals have both a right and a duty to preserve their own lives.Locke also argued that individuals should be free to make choices about how to conduct their own lives as long as they do not interfere with the liberty of others. Locke therefore believed liberty should be far-reaching.By "property," Locke meant more than land and goods that could be sold, given away, or even confiscated by the government under certain circumstances. Property also referred to ownership of one's self, which included a right to personal well being. Jefferson, however, substituted the phrase, "pursuit of happiness," which Locke and others had used to describe freedom of opportunity as well as the duty to help those in want.The purpose of government, Locke wrote, is to secure and protect the inalienable natural rights of the people. Locke further concluded, if a government persecutes its people with "a long train of abuses" over an extended period, the people have the right to resist that government, alter or abolish it, and create a new political system.
How does the US Constitution reflect the ideas of the Enlightenment?
One of the leading voices during the Enlightenment was that of John Locke. Locke was adamant about the "natural right" of human beings. These rights included life, liberty, and property. Locke claimed that in order for these rights to be protected, persons must give up a certain amount of sovereignty to the limited powers of a government. Baron de Montesquieu was an admirer of John Locke. Montesquieu agreed with Locke's arguments for limited sovereignty. He believed in a separation of powers and system of checks and balances, and that one person or body should not have power over every area governing control. It was his contributions to political thought and theory that influenced the developers of the United States Constitution, and a government that is framed around separate branches of power.
What was John Locke's philosophy about the relationship between the people and the government?
john Locke was a philosopher that believed in Life, Liberty and above all else PROPERTY. He also believed that a small government was best.

When Thomas Jefferson wrote the DoA, he wrote, 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'. He did this because he was about 3 words away from plagiarizing Locke. John Locke was also a believer in the Natural Rights of Man. He believed that Rights were something that could not be given or taken away, but they were bestowed upon us by God simply because we are human. Rights are not given to us by governments, or men. We are all entitled to inalieanable rights which NO ONE can take away. We all have the right to live. We all have the right to be free. We all have the right to property.

His ideas about life, liberty, and property however were slightly altered to life, liberty and the persuit of happiness.

Quoted from personal historical research paper (Hughes) ....(...John Locke helped pave the way for Enlightenment through inspiring other authors to follow his lead. Simply stated Locke believed, "Each man has a natural right to life, liberty, and property, and therefore a natural obligation to respect the life, liberty, and property of every other man."
