Whereas Locke spoke of life, liberty and estate,  the Declaration of Independence speaks in terms of life, liberty, and the <u>pursuit of happiness</u><u>.</u>

In John Locke's way of framing his theory, "life, liberty, and estates" all constitute an individual's personal property.  We normally think of "property" just in terms of one's "estate" -- that is land, house, belongings. From Locke's perspective, however, our property is <u>everything</u> that belongs to us as persons, which begins with our personhood itself.  Having life and personal liberty -- those are the most important things we possess.  Then comes "estate" or our land, house, belongings.

Thomas Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence have a similar theme, though worded differently.  Pursuing happiness--a meaningful and fulfilling life--cannot happen unless life and liberty are respected and protected first.

In the late 1800s factories were being powered mostly by what?
arlik [135]

The factory system is a method of manufacturing using machinery and division of labour. Because of the high capital cost of machinery and factory buildings, factories are typically owned by capitalists wmho employ the operative labour. Use of machinery with the division of labor reduced the required skill level of workers and also increased the output per worker.

The factory system was first adopted in Britain at the beginning of the Industrial Revolution in the late 18th century and later spread around the world.[1] It replaced the putting-out system. The main characteristic of the factory system is the use of machinery, originally powered by water or steam and later by electricity. Other characteristics of the system mostly derive from the use of machinery or economies of scale, the centralization of factories, and standardization of interchangeable parts.

Which was developed outside the constitution?
nevsk [136]
The Bill of Rights is apart of the constitution, whereas the democratic party and political parties are not mentioned in the constitution. I would go with political parties since they were developed during the same time as the constitution and is broader than just democrats (the democratic party was founded in the early 1820s.)
