Detailed explanation-1: -Locke’s idea that the rights to life, liberty, and property are natural rights that precede the establishment of civil society influenced the American Revolution and modern liberalism more generally.
Detailed explanation-2: -Locke wrote that all individuals are equal in the sense that they are born with certain “inalienable” natural rights. That is, rights that are God-given and can never be taken or even given away. Among these fundamental natural rights, Locke said, are “life, liberty, and property."
Detailed explanation-3: -A central argument made by Locke is that each individual has a natural right to life, liberty and property, even in the state of nature. These natural rights flow from natural law and are governed by it. These rights are pre-political and are, thus, in effect granted by God and held by every individual from birth.
