Answer 10

how does the Declaration of Independence express ideas of John Locke?

Answer 11

The introduction relies heavily on the philosophical and political ideas of the Enlightenment period of 18th century Europe, including the ideas of Thomas Hobbes, Jean Jacques Rousseau, and, most particularly, John Locke. Locke believed that humans, by nature, had the right to protection of life, health, liberty and possessions. Jefferson altered this slightly when he claims the unalienable rights include "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness." Locke also strongly opposed the divine right of kings--which held that kings held absolute power because they were placed on their throne by God--and insisted that the people had the right to consent to their government and that the power of law making resides with the people. Jefferson included this theory when he writes "to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed." Jefferson's declaration helped to put Locke's philosophies into the realm of real-world politics. Many revolutions that occurred after the American Revolution cited Jefferson's Declaration of Independence as justification in overthrowing a corrupt and dictatorial power.

Answer 12

I have "John Locke believed that the natural rights were the rights of life, liberty, and property. He believed that the government should protect they're people in these ways. Thomas Jefferson was the writer of the Declaration and believed in what John Locke's idea of natural rights were. SO this caused the people to be called away from the King of England, whom did not give natural rights to his people. Eventually John Locke's theory became apart in the Declaration of Independence, giving people their natural rights such as freedom." that is the only info I have. But I need something different. Is there anything else?
