Question

Philosopher John Locke

2. Find a recent news article that describes, in the modern day, how their idea(s) are used in practice today. Cite it, summarize it, and describe how it's related. Famous English scholar and philosopher John Locke lived from 1632 until 1704. He was one of the well-known public characters of the "enlightenment period" as well as a physician. He is renowned for his "social contract theory" and liberal viewpoints. His words had an impact on the political climate in both Europe and America. According to Locke's social contract theory, the government is a contract, a sort of agreement between the general populace and those who carry out its functions. This suggests that the terms and conditions of this fictitious contract must be jointly agreed upon. Thus, this argument of the contract between society and the government forms the basis for elections, representation, voting rights, and other concepts. These values also form the foundation of contemporary US governance, which includes regular elections, the right to life, liberty, and property ownership for all individuals. The US Constitution contains laws that are based on these values. John Locke was a strong proponent of liberalism, religious tolerance, the freedom to revolt, and other principles. These concepts had an impact on the American Revolution and the subsequent drafting of the US Constitution. Thomas Jefferson discusses drawing inspiration from John Locke's writings. At that time, American officials prioritized the "protection of estate, liberty, and life," a concept first advanced by Locke. Section 1 of the Constitution also incorporates his notion of the bill of rights. Locke's principles are also the foundation of the US Constitution's First Amendment, which includes a provision for religious tolerance. According to Locke, the State shouldn't have any control over religious matters if its main function is to safeguard property. He added that there should be no public endorsement of a particular faith and that the government should stay out of matters of religion. His conception of inalienable "natural rights" for people also had an impact on the writing of the US Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. The American Constitution thus incorporates many of John Locke's ideas and influences. As one of the most significant philosophers to influence US politics and history Locke would be dismayed by certain aspects of the US government today. The social contract between the US government and the citizens is not followed. People can not freely express their opposition to government policies but have to face strong restrictions on the right to protest. The freedom to revolt is absent in the US in the current political environment, and attempting to revolt is considered a great crime against the nation. Religious tolerance is also absent in the US. The government shutdowns also prove the inability of the government to run the country financially. A shutdown can disrupt the function of state and local government, usually creating political and economic chaos and a break in the social contract between the government and the citizens, which is unacceptable in Locke's terms.
