Abstract
The present research paper is principally intended to
comprehensively examine the contribution of John Locke’s
Philosophy to the emergence of the American Republic and
Democracy. The American founding fathers learnt from Locke the
theory of the social contract as well as his concept of revolution .In
other words, the article is an attempt to show that Locke's
philosophy is one of the fundamental roots of the modern American
political Thought.
