John Locke was a great influence on many of the founding fathers, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison included. Locke identified the basis of a legitimate government whereby a ruler gains authority through the consent of the governed. The duty of that government is to protect the natural rights of the people, which Locke believed to include life, liberty, and property. If the government should fail to protect these rights, its citizens would have the right to overthrow that government. Thomas Jefferson was influenced by Locke's idea as he wrote the US Declaration of Independence.
