Locke believed that human nature is characterized by reason and tolerance. Locke believed that certain rights are inalienable and should not be denied to anybody. These are the right to life, liberty and property.  

I agree that no written law should contradict these rights. This is because of the fundamental nature of the rights. Any law that denies these rights will result in tyranny and denial of basic rights.  

The concept of rule of law basically refers to a situation whereby a country is bound to a system of laws. This is a key tenet of democracy whereby no individual is above the law ensuring that there is law and order.  

The idea of rule of law is important as it guarantees everybody an equal opportunity to pursue their happiness. It checks abuse of power by those in position of power and allows people to exercise their liberty

jonny [76]

writing the "Star-Spangled Banner," and fighting the Battle of New Orleans

It is not called, the Star-Spangled Banner. The star spangled banner is the name given to the flag of the United States that has fifteen stars and fifteen stripes. A giant flag flew in the face of the British during the bombardment of fort McHenry at the Battle of Baltimore. Francis Scott key, who was a lawyer negotiating a prison trade on board one of the ships in the harbor, was stuck when the blockade formed. Witnessing the bombardment, he then wrote "Defense of Fort McHenry" not "Star-Spangled Banner".

The Battle of New Orleans was a failed attempted by the British to capture the New Orleans and control travel on the Mississippi river. Which would devastate the American Colonies. A colonel at the time, Andrew Jackson lead a force of Militia and Military against the British, devastated the assault and is recalled as one of the greatest American Victory of all time.
