Question

The ideas of Lock and Rousseau are found MOST easily in which of these documents?

Answer 1

Locke's political philosophy influenced the American Revolution the most. To exemplify this, recall Thomas Jefferson's famous phrase from the Declaration of Independence: "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness". This phrase actually appeared in the writings of Locke in his Two Treatises on Government where he says "no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions." Jefferson changed the last condition from "possessions" (or "estate") because he feared people would claim they have the right to the property of others, so he claimed people have the right to pursue that which makes them happy. Locke also believed in the following political and philosophical principles: government is required to protect people's natural rights,  government should have limited power,  the type of government should be accepted by all citizens, absolute monarchy is immoral, government has an obligation to those it governs, and  people have the right to overthrow government if the it fails its obligations or takes away natural rights (revolution).
