John Locke.

One of the key phrases in the Declaration “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” was from Locke’s Two Treatises of Government. Locke developed the idea that all mankind is created equally and that our fundamental human rights (for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) should never be taken by the government.

The original writers of the Declaration of Independence, namely Jefferson, took inspiration and included some of Locke’s ideas.

The Treaty of Versailles was violated by Hitler's military build-up.<br> true false
Over [174]
Yes, it is true that the Treaty of Versailles was violated by Hitler's military build-up, since the treaty expressly prohibited the German military from reaching this size. Many European powers "turned their heads" however, since they didn't want to engage in another conflict.
