The Declaration of Independence sent from the colonies to Great Britain find many of its basis upon John Locke's idea of Natural Law. As seen by the first line of the Declaration of Independence stating that "all men are created equal" and all men are given certain "unalienable rights" which was without a doubt a result of Locke's work. ]]> 2021-06-24 05:26:18 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623027830 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623101501 2021-06-24 06:20:55 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623101501 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623104017 Locke also believed that government should never exist unless those being governed agree to being governed or wish to be governed. He believed that the government may be removed by their people if they fail to meet the requirements of allowing all citizens the ability to live under their natural rights. Taxing was okay as long as the money gained from the taxes were used to improve the state. In the Declaration it states that if the government is abusing their power over their citizens it is the citizens job to overthrow that government which is directly influenced by the ideas of John Locke. ]]> 2021-06-24 06:22:50 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623104017 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623117492 2021-06-24 06:32:44 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623117492 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623119284 Many of Locke's ideals pertain to his views on property. Property could only be gained through labor and should never be gained through force. He believed that a person's body was their own property and it should not be used unless given permission to do so. In the original draft of the Declaration of Independence rather than "in the pursuit of happiness" it claimed that among these unalienable rights being "Life, Liberty in the Pursuit of Property" exemplifying the impact his ideas had on the Founding Fathers who put their ideas together to write the document.]]> 2021-06-24 06:33:48 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623119284 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623128987 2021-06-24 06:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623128987 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623129351 Among Locke's thoughts one that was notable and is currently the foundations of numerous advanced effective countries is that of which where human's regular rights can never be restricted by the public authority since the public authority is set up to secure these unalienable rights. All laws ought to apply and be reasonable for all who are administered by said laws regardless of their affiliation.]]> 2021-06-24 06:41:12 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623129351 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623136899 2021-06-24 06:46:22 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623136899 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623137467 John Locke believed in individual power. An individual could stand up for their rights if they believed they were unfair or violating their freedoms and natural rights. That they have the power to spark change and build upon a government set in place in order to improve society. Through multiple ideas of the individual it can be very constructive for change and was a reason that the United States was able to be created and be so successful with minimal internal issue besides the Civil War.]]> 2021-06-24 06:46:46 UTC https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623137467 agk1404 https://padlet.com/agk1404/fy6k1k2x4qsr5bal/wish/1623144297 https://www.mtsu.edu/first-amendment/article/822/natural-rights
