3. Most people don't know it...much of it was plagerized from John Locke-"Two Treatises of Government"

He took the ideas from John Locke ...who wrote a paper in 1688, justifying the so called ,,"Glorious Revolution"......Locke was the leading political writer of the hundred years preceding the so called .."American Revolution.." All educated people knew Jefferson had taken some ideas from Locke......

Why Jefferson do it?..........to stick his third finger up at King George...that is why......
............................."Two Treatises on Government" justifies the revolution that the English Parliament carried out to get rid of the previous king of England that brought in King George's grandfather or maybe great grandfather as king..By quoting this well known writing, Jefferson was saying to King George that we have the same right to change our government, for the exact same reasons that your predecessors used to get rid of King James and put your family into power.....

Or.........what is good for the gooses.....is good for the goose's children..so Fuck You... King.

All politically educated people knew that Locke's ideas were used in the Declaration of Independence, it is just that most people in the USA do not know Jefferson was the great idea stealer from the greatest political thinker of that age..John Locke..and..most do not know why?

Special thanks to my English History teacher who taught me this in 1961..wish I remember his name..
