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.

Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Popular sovereignty is equal to political equality among citizens, is the right answer.

Explanation:

John Locke is the most prominent political thinkers of modern times. He published the book name "Two Treatises of Government"  in the year 1690. In this book, he supported a claimed that men are naturally born free and equal and gave more importance to natural rights. In the social contract theory, developed during the Age of Enlightenment, the idea of popular sovereignty was put forward by John Locke, Thomas Hobbes and  Jean-Jacques Rousseau. In this theory of popular sovereignty, the legitimacy of the law is based on the acquiescence of the governed. According to the thinkers, when people choose to live in a society they give up some of their natural freedoms in return of the protection from threats that come from the freedom of others.

Therefore, it may be said that Locke emphasized on the pair of popular sovereignty and political equality.

How does Coffin’s status as an abolitionist affect his portrayal of Garner’s story and his overall purpose in the text?
Ganezh [65]

According to a different source, this question refers to the text "Margaret Garner: Defying the Fugitive Slave Act" by Levi Coffin.

In this text, we learn about a woman names Margaret Garner who was a slave in Kentucky, but managed to escape. Upon being recaptured, she killed two of her children, preferring death to allowing them to become slaves.

Coffin's narrative shows that he is an abolitionist, and that he is inclined to support the decision of Garner. He describes her story as a heroic and painful one, and argues that only people who have experienced such level of sorrow are able to imagine the pain that Margaret had to endure. The purpose of the text is to show how unimaginable slavery is, and how it can lead people to commit the most desperate acts.
