Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

John Locke wrote many philosophical ideas, many of which the Founding Fathers believed in. Some of his ideas may have sparked an interest and idea in some Patriots, and encouraged them to fight back. They realized that they did not have much of a life, they did not have liberty, and could not pursue happiness (owning land) under British control.

I hope this helped!
