Quoted from personal historical research paper (Hughes) ....(...john Locke helped pave the way for Enlightenment through inspiring other authors to follow his lead. Simply stated Locke believed, "Each man has a natural right to life, liberty, and property, and therefore a natural obligation to respect the life, liberty, and property of every other man." (Francis/Clark, 1979)
