Answer:

John Locke. Which ideal is not an essential element of the English political tradition?

Step-by-step explanation:

In fact, “liberty” is so central to the idea of American democracy that the framers of our Constitution created a Bill of Rights to protect personal liberty from the tyranny of big government. All people, they argued, should be free to express unpopular opinions or choose one’s own religion or protect one’s home without fear of retaliation from the state.
