Whereas Locke spoke of life, liberty and estate, the Declaration of Independence speaks in terms of life, liberty, and the <u>pursuit of happiness</u><u>.</u>
In John Locke's way of framing his theory, "life, liberty, and estates" all constitute an individual's personal property. We normally think of "property" just in terms of one's "estate" -- that is land, house, belongings. From Locke's perspective, however, our property is <u>everything</u> that belongs to us as persons, which begins with our personhood itself. Having life and personal liberty -- those are the most important things we possess. Then comes "estate" or our land, house, belongings.
Thomas Jefferson's words in the Declaration of Independence have a similar theme, though worded differently. Pursuing happiness--a meaningful and fulfilling life--cannot happen unless life and liberty are respected and protected first.

Such economies can be beset by high levels of debt, a heavy reliance on foreign capital inflows, a steady depreciation of its currency, and high-interest rates. Sri Lanka has suffered balance of payments (BOP) crises at regular intervals, with the exception of a 9-year period from 1992 to 2000.
The recent changes in the climate have reduced crop yields and crop growth in Sri Lanka due to heat intolerance and water evaporation. This reduces the economic returns to those in the agricultural sector, leading to lower incomes for the individuals affected by these environmental changes.
