Question

"Whenever government tries to take away and destroy the property of the people, or reduce the people to slavery, it puts itself in a state of war with the people. The people are freed from any further obedience to that government . . . and have the right to establish a new government.” —John Locke, Two Treatises on Civil Government (1690) "We hold these truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government.” —Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence (1776) Which of Locke's ideas were included by Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence?
