John Locke
John Locke was born on the 29th of August in 1632, & started off as one of the greatest philosphers in Europe- but later came to be one of the greatest Philosophers that found the United States (or at that time, The Colonies). His belief was that everyone had natural rights, that every man owned. Much like in the declaration, where it said "...Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, & the pursuit of Hapiness." He believed in the right of Life, Liberty, & Estate.
