natural rights
John Locke was a 17th-century philosopher known for his ideas on empiricism, natural rights, and government. He argued that knowledge is derived from experience and observation, rejecting innate ideas. Locke believed in the concept of natural rights—life, liberty, and property—and asserted that governments should be formed with the consent of the governed to protect these rights. His ideas significantly influenced the development of modern democracy and theories of individual rights.
