The main ideas that the Founding Fathers took from Locke were the recognition of unalienable rights, the Social Compact, and limited government. These all attributed to one main idea though, the idea of less government. American just won independence from a huge government power in Great Britain so they wanted to stay away from the idea of a large powerful government. That is why we have our basic human rights displayed through our Amendments. Our Amendments are our unalienable rights that are basically the backbone of our country.

A person needs to obey the laws of the state they reside in, even if it is temporary. This is a very practical idea, all it is saying is when you are in a different area or state, you are obligated to follow that states rules and guidelines .

all men are free "to order their actions, and dispose of their possessions and persons, as they think fit, within the bounds of the law of nature." Locke was all about letting people decide their own fate in life, and not having the government controlling their every move.

The only right people give up in order to enter into civil society and its benefits is the right to punish other people for violating rights. No other rights are given up, only the right to be a vigilante.

John Locke believed that we have these thongs called in  That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away.

Locke justifies his doctrine of limited government by advocating that a restrained government is the best way to protect rights. This is what our founding fathers did with our Amendments, they are the foundation of our country and should not be changed.
