The correct answer is John Locke.

Enlightenment philosopher John Locke developed a theory of natural rights in which every free person had the rights of life, liberty, and property and that citizens entered into government to protect those rights.

Thomas Jefferson was heavily influenced by Locke and developed the concept of natural rights further writing in the Declaration of Independence that every citizen had the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

Do you agree that "The ends justify the means"?
Artemon [7]
This is the kind of concept a utilitarian would agree on. If the result is positive for a large group of people, we should seriously consider doing it.

However, I would like to comment on this concept. In my opinion (and that's what you're asking for) there are situations in which the ends don't justify the means. You can e.g. think about mass-bombings to fight against terrorism. However, the possibility exists that innocent people will be hit, and will die. Therefore, the end don't always justify the means (in my opinion).
