<h3>John Locke and Government </h3>
For John Locke, if the government does not fulfill its purposes, the society can institute a new government through elections.
2. Thomas Jefferson's ideas about government, as found in the Declaration of Independence, were based on the fact that a government existed to protect the people's rights to <em>"life, liberty, and ... of happiness."</em>
<h3>Thomas Jefferson and Government</h3>
For Jefferson, if the government fails to fulfill its purpose, the people should reject that government by setting up another government to guarantee the protection of those inalienable rights.
<h3>What is Plagiarism?</h3>
3. Jefferson did not plagiarize John Locke's theory of natural rights since he did not <u>pass off Locke's ideas as his own</u>. He rather adapted them for the American revolution. For instance, John Locke advocated for elections to hold governments accountable, while Thomas Jefferson sought a revolution to end King George's colonial tyranny.
Thus, while John Locke never called for a revolt but elections, Thomas Jefferson supported a revolution to remove a non-performing government.
