John Locke was a British political philosopher of the Enlightenment Era. One of Locke's most notorious thoughts on politics was that each and every person is born with certain rights, that are property, life and liberty.
One of the Foundation Fathers, and later on the third President of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, used this concept created by John Locke and included it in the Declaration of Independence. He gave this set of rights the name of of <u>"Unalienable Rights"</u>.
<span> The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution authorized "President Lyndon Johnson" to “take all necessary measures to repel any armed attack against the forces of the United States and to prevent further aggression” by the communist government of North Vietnam. It was passed on August 7, 1964, by the United States Congress after an alleged attack on two U.S. naval destroyers stationed off the coast of Vietnam. The Gulf of Tonkin Resolution effectively launched America’s full-scale involvement in the Vietnam War. The results are pretty simple I suppose; the United States lost the Vietnam War and Vietnam was united under a communist government.</span>
