• American Declaration of Independence – Inspired by Locke’s ideas, it asserts that all men are endowed with unalienable rights, including life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
• Constitutional Protections – Modern democracies, such as the U.S. Constitution, incorporate guarantees for individual rights (e.g., free speech, right to property) which echo Locke’s emphasis on safeguarding these natural rights.
• Right to Revolution – In political theory and historical events, such as various democratic revolutions, the principle that citizens can overthrow a government that fails to protect their inherent rights reflects Locke’s concept of the social contract.
