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)
This aspect of life, liberty and property helped lead the wording of the Constitution.
He was an author who penned the phrase "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Property"
which was adapted into "Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" which was used in the Declaration of Independance
in the declaration Tomas Jefferson said "We hold these truths to be self evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" that was an idea of John Locke an that was just a little piece of the declaration, pretty much 1/3 of its his ideas.
john lockes ideas influenced farmers to shaye's rebellion where they tried to sieze the court but later sent militia to make them stop
By proposing the idea of natural rights. These natural rights include the rights to life, liberty, and property.
