Wow, sorry this is so late I've totally forgotten to post my Perry's on the blog...
- Written to justify the American's break with the British motherland
- embodied principles that were familiar to English statesmen and intellectuals
- Articulated clearly Locke's philosophy of natural rights (life, liberty, and property as essential individual rights)
- "pursuit of happiness" substituted for property
- Locke's view of human nature and the origin and true purpose of political authority, along with the people's right of rebellion
