How did John Lockes ideas about rights influence the colonists?
When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence he used the thinking of Locke. For a thousand years kings and queens had ruled the world. They did what they wanted, when they wanted, and treated people as they wanted. Locke stated the people had the RIGHT to chose leaders and government. That they also had God given rights. This was a new way to think of government. If you picture a triangle in the old way of kings they would be at the very top with everyone below them, but Locke turned the triangle on it's side making everyone the same. The king was no longer on top. These ideas influenced the men who made up Congress as they decided to break from England. The population, in general, didn't necessarily think about revolution or government, but were more concerned with living. The white land owning men who were over 21 didn't vote most of the time when there was an election so they weren't thinking about john Locke or even Jefferson. The 55 men who were the framers of the government were the MOST important and educated of the colonies were reading the philosophy of Locke and others.

The answer to this question is a matter of opinion and great controversy. Some folks believe that everyone should have the right to unlimited medical care. Others believe that everyone should have the right to a limited amount of medical care. Others believe that people should have the right to the amount of medical care that they can afford. I think everyone is in agreement that everyone should have the right to access medical care, but the big controversy is who should pay for that medical care, them, or you, through your taxes.
