Answer 1

It's true; doesn't every textbook teach you that?

Life liberty & property paved way for Life liberty and the pursuit of happieness

Answer 2

Locke, John (1632-1704). Was an English philosopher. In An Essay Concerning Human Understanding (1690) he set out the principles of empiricism, and his Two Treatises on Government (1690) influenced the Declaration of Independence.

Locke's empiricist viewpoint was sharply criticized by rationalists. In 1704 Gottfried Leibniz wrote a rationalist response to Locke's work in the form of a chapter-by-chapter rebuttal, the Nouveaux essais sur l'entendement humain ("New Essays on Human Understanding"). At the same time, Locke's work provided crucial groundwork for the work of future empiricists such as David Hume.

Because Thomas Jefferson was also a philosopher he read many of and was heavily influenced by empiricists John Locke and George Berkeley, along with various Francophone writers such as Pierre Bayle.
