The Bill of Rights
The Ten Commandments
John Locke, in The Second Treatise of Government, introduces the notion of the individual's God-given inalienable rights, of which all individuals are entitled, and which provide the moral collection of civil society. "The state of Nature has a law of Nature to govern it, which obliges everyone, and reason, which is at that law, teaches all mankind who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions; for men being all the workmanship of one omnipotent and infinitely wise Maker; all the servants of one sovereign Master, sent into the world by His order and about His business; they are His property, whose workmanship they are made to last during His, not one another's place..." John Locke (1632-1704) was an English philospher who wrote two important works, Essay concerning Human Understanding and Two Treatises on Civil Government, both published in 1690, quickly established him as the leading philosopher of freedom.
