John Lockes Second Treatise of Government was one of the most influential works read by Americas Founding Fathers. As Thomas P. Peardon wrote, "John Locke [was] . . . a main source of the ideas of the American Revolution of 1776. . . . So close is the Declaration of Independence to Locke in form, phraseology, and content, that Jefferson was accused of copying the Second Treatise. This, of course, he did not do. But the ideas of the Declaration are those ideas of English constitutionalism to which Locke had given expression. . . . Nor was Lockes influence confined to the Declaration of Independence it was felt in the ideas and often the phrasing of State Declarations and Constitutions. He was quoted, too, in the Federal Convention of 1787 and often referred to thereafter. . . . Lockes Second Treatise is . . . the distillation of a wisdom derived from centuries of struggle for liberty and justice in government."
