The Declaration of Independence draws heavily on john Locke's principles, particularly the ideas about natural rights and government by consent. Locke's belief that individuals possess inherent rights to life, liberty, and property is echoed in the Declaration's assertion that all men are created equal and endowed with unalienable rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Additionally, the concept that governments derive their power from the consent of the governed reflects Locke's influence on the justification for revolution against oppressive rule.
