Life, Liberty, and Property

While not a book with this exact title, the phrase "Life, Liberty, and Property" encapsulates a core tenet of John Locke's political philosophy, particularly as articulated in his "Two Treatises of Government.

" Locke argued that individuals possess inherent natural rights that pre-exist government.

These rights include the right to life, liberty, and property, which governments are established to protect, not infringe upon.

Locke's ideas profoundly influenced the American founders and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, where "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" reflects Locke's emphasis on individual rights and limited government.
