Permit me to say a bit more about John Locke, the philosopher -- as important background to the American Revolution.
The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers). The American Revolution (1775-1783) was inspired by ideas such as those of Locke. John Locke (1632-1704) argued for the idea of a "social contract." According to his view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his First Treatise on Civil Government. In his Second Treatise on Civil Government, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.
