Second Treatise and The Declaration
The Second Treatise of Government by John Locke and the Declaration of Independence contain many of the same sentiments/ideology even though they were composed almost a century apart. There can be little doubt that the writers of the Declaration of Independence were influenced by Locke.
Locke explicitly states that, “The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, … that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions:”. This wording is recreated in the Declaration, “that all men are created equal, … with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Locke was referring to individuals not interfering with each other’s rights whereas the Declaration was referring to governments. Regardless, the sentiment is the same—that everyone has the right to pursue their life, their freedom and their own path to happiness without undue interference from another, within reason, whether that is an individual, a group or a government.
Both documents acknowledge that government, or a legislative body, is often necessary but that this government should be “from the consent of the governed” (Declaration) The Declaration of Independence says “That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive …, it is the Right of the People to alter or abolish it…” Locke states, “…that he who attempts to get another man into his absolute power, does thereby put himself into a state of war with him...” These statements are essentially the same-injustice allows for rebellion. The Declaration spells out the injustices that had been perpetrated on the colonies and that their appeals for solutions to these situations fell on deaf, even vengeful, ears. As Locke stated, “… the want of … an appeal gives a man the right of war even against an aggressor, tho’ he be in society…”
The greatest difference between The Second Treatise of Government and the Declaration of Independence is why they were written. John Locke wrote the treatise in support of a revolution whereas the Declaration of Independence was written to begin a revolution. Even with this slight difference, it is clear that the composers of the Declaration drew much from the writings of Locke.
