John Locke and the U.S. Constitution
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the fact that although almost a century separated John Locke’s writing from the creation of the British colonists “declaration of independence,” the Revolutionary War, and the ultimate development of the United States’ constitution, the thinking of John Locke (1632-1704) played an important role in the mindset of Americans in its earliest years. As a result, his thinking can also be seen in the structure of the U.S. Constitution. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

John Locke's "A Letter Concerning Toleration" - Defining Toleration
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. To understand toleration as Locke intended is to realize its inherent relation to possessing conscience. His 1689 paper entitled "A Letter Concerning Toleration" set a significant precedent with regard to how toleration, in and of itself, is not solely connected with propriety, but rather holds more of an impact upon concerns of political morality. Insofar as one might consider this approach to be somewhat of a limitation upon the notion of toleration, it actually represents a broader perspective of the term that incorporates pertinent principles of one's existence: civic virtue, religion and political morality. No additional sources cited.

John Locke’s “Blank Slate” and Education
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses the ideas of John Locke concerning education and the tabula rasa (“blank slate”) of human beings. Locke’s ideas regarding the formation of government and the appropriate role of government have served as guiding parameters in the formation of Western governments for centuries. In his “Essay Concerning Human Understanding” (1690), Locke asserted that the human mind could be compared to a “white paper, void of all characters” and that same mind relied on “all the materials of reason and knowledge.” This paper considers the role of education in such a construct. Bibliography lists one source.

John Locke’s “Essay on Human Understanding” Book II
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page report discusses English philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704) and his focus on the division of human ideas in sub-categories related to substances, modes, and relations. Almost the entire core of the intellectual activity of the eighteenth century in England leads back to Locke. Locke was able to succinctly describe and honor the Enlightenment in his belief in the middle class and its right to freedom of conscience and right to property, in his faith in science, and in his confidence in the goodness of humanity. Locke was convinced that in order for a liberal, tolerant, regime to survive, it had to be intolerant of those who were neither liberal nor tolerant. His influence upon philosophy and political theory has been incalculable. No secondary sources.
