What was the political theory of John Locke?
John Locke was a philosopher that believed in Life, Liberty and above all else PROPERTY. He also believed that a small government was best. He believed that government should in effect, be instituted to make sure that the people were able to secure their rights to property. When Thomas Jefferson wrote the DoA, he wrote, 'Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness'. He did this because he was about 3 words away from plagiarizing Locke. John Locke was also a believer in the Natural Rights of Man. He believed that Rights were something that could not be given or taken away, but they were bestowed upon us by God simply because we are human. Rights are not given to us by governments, or men. We are all entitled to inalieanable rights which NO ONE can take away. We all have the right to live. We all have the right to be free. We all have the right to property.
