    Thomas Jefferson was heavily influenced by John Locke and the other Enlightenment philosopher's belief in natural rights.

    Locke believed that we all have rights to life, liberty and property. Jefferson adapted that to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness as the inalienable rights that force the colonies to separate from the United Kingdom.
