John Steinbeck's the Pearl takes place in La Paz, Mexico.
Steinbeck was inspired to write the story after hearing a folk talk while visiting Baja (where La Paz is located) which is a heavy pearl producing region.
John Locke had a huge effect on the Founding Fathers of the United States of America and therefore he was a huge part in the writing of the Constitution. His ideas in the Second Treatise of Government and the Social Contract emphasized his idea that the people give up certain freedoms to a government in exchange for protection from others. His idea, "Where there is no law, there is no freedom" is his way of saying that if you don't have laws, then everyone can do what they want. If everyone does what they want then freedom is non-existent. For example: Say you have a car. If there was no such thing as laws, someone could come and take that car from you.
Hope this helps! (:
