His \u003cem\u003eTwo Treatises of Government\u003c\/em\u003e, published anonymously in 1689, argued that political authority derives not from God but from the consent of the governed - and that when a government fails to protect the natural rights of its citizens, those citizens have the right to replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eThe influence on the American and French Revolutions was direct and explicit. Jefferson's \"life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness\" is a close paraphrase of Locke's \"life, liberty, and property.\" The entire structure of liberal democracy - the idea that individuals possess rights that governments must respect - rests on foundations Locke articulated with unprecedented clarity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHis \u003cem\u003eEssay Concerning Human Understanding\u003c\/em\u003e, published the same year, was equally consequential for philosophy. He argued that the mind at birth is a blank slate - a \u003cem\u003etabula rasa\u003c\/em\u003e - and that all knowledge is built from sensory experience. It was a direct challenge to the rationalist tradition that claimed certain truths were innate, and it laid the groundwork for empiricism as the dominant philosophical approach to knowledge for the next two centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003eHe died in 1704, having fundamentally reshaped how the West understands both politics and the human mind. The world he imagined is largely the one we inhabit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePRODUCT FEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c!-- x-tinymce\/html --\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAvailable in 3 sizes, vertical orientation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMuseum-quality printing with Greenguard Gold certified inks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eNon-toxic latex inks, safe and eco-friendly\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade from FSC certified sustainable materials\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eAnti-slip rubber dot backing to secure canvas when hung\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWipe clean gently with a damp cloth if needed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eArrives ready to hang\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Printify","offers":[{"title":"12″ x 18″ (Vertical) \/ 1.25\"","offer_id":47960477335719,"sku":"19638475925462950906","price":55.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"16″ x 24″ (Vertical) \/ 1.25\"","offer_id":47960477368487,"sku":"48305031827070034533","price":75.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20″ x 30″ (Vertical) \/ 1.25\"","offer_id":47960477401255,"sku":"43706445067378322995","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0704\/2249\/5399\/files\/locke-canvas-wall-art-philosopher-illustration.jpg?v=1774209987","url":"https:\/\/legendsketch.com\/products\/john-locke-canvas-wall-art","provider":"LegendSketch","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
