Compare and Contrast Compare the political thought of John Locke to the American form of government. What would Locke support? What would he not support?

Critical Thinking

Locke believed that humans had certain natural rights to life, liberty, and property. This belief is reflected in our belief in the “inalienable rights” to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” He believed that the government had a duty to protect the rights of the people and when it fails, that the people have a right to form a new government. This is similar to what happened when the American colonists declared independence from Britain. He would probably approve wholeheartedly of the American system of government.
