Locke's contribution to American political thought was the way he formulated liberal thought. In Locke's thought, men have intrinsic moral worth. They are capable of being their own moral agents, thus capable of self rule. They are equal, and they are free from claims of divine right to rule. This is liberalization, meaning that traditional ruling systems of personal power, justified by divine right, are rejected. The political power is opened up to the people, and "opening" is what liberalism means. When the people have the sovereign power, power becomes a public matter. In Latin, that is "Res Publica." Self rule is a republic. The power of the people is delegated to representatives to speak on their behalf so people have a stable environment in which to pursue economic activity.
Since men are free and equal, then, they have natural rights. These are life, liberty, health, and pursuit of property. Property is the source of political power, hence freedom, and this comes with the obligation to defend it so you don't lose that liberty. You cannot alienate your natural rights. You must set up a system to limit encroachments and preserve your rights. So you must have the ability to protect your freedom, which is the right to pursue property. Jefferson cribbed this line but he changed "property" to "happiness."

During the Progressive Era between 1896–1916, social activism and political reform became widely renowned and certain laws were set in place to keep large businesses in check, such as the Pendleton Act. This act made it unlawful to fire or demote an employee based on political stance. This makes me think about a more recent act that was passed called The Americans with Disabilities Act. which not only provides equal treatment to disabled persons in day-to-day life but is also, similar to the Pendleton Act. as it protects persons with diabilities from being fired or demoted without reasonable cause.
wait nvm thats not really on topic....
During my lifetime the government has more or less decreased the regulations set in place to keep large businesses in check. When looking at certain acts like the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act, which was updated in 2017, makes it so that all workers in the US are paid minimum wage up to the national minimum wage, along with other benefits. However, debates on whether minimum wage is truly a livable wage have been brought up. This then allows many large businesses to exploit and go around this law, allowing them to grow bigger and bigger. um... i dont know if this is any good nvm
The Federal Government's first entry into transportation was National Road (b). The Federal Government was concerned with the speed at which goods were transported from their source to their destination. Goods were primarily transported overland by horse and rider. They were transported along the waterways by ships and sail boats. The first road that the government funded was the Boston Post Road. It was built to increase the speed of the delivery of mail. The Boston Post Road was constructed between New York City and Boston.
