Dr. Paul Carrese explores John Locke's profound influence on the Declaration of Independence and American founding principles. Locke's philosophy of natural rights - that all humans possess inherent, equal rights to life, liberty, and property - provided the intellectual foundation for revolution and continues to shape American politics 250 years later.
• Locke was an Enlightenment philosopher whose Second Treatise of Government (1692) became central to American revolutionary thinking
• The Declaration's famous assertion that "all men are created equal" with "unalienable rights" directly echoes Locke's natural rights philosophy
• Locke's social contract theory established that governments exist solely to protect natural rights
• Americans adapted Locke's ideas, blending them with religious principles and common law traditions
• Locke's philosophy of equal natural rights continued to influence American history through Lincoln's anti-slavery arguments, the 1848 Seneca Falls women's rights declaration, and Martin Luther King Jr.'s civil rights advocacy.
