Jefferson and Locke

As I said in my other blog about John Locke's second treatise, there is a line in the declaration of independance that is extremely similar to what John Locke said. The line is "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness", which Locke argues that every man has but instead of happiness Locke says property. The ideas though are identical and even the idea that every man has these rights from birth and such are identical. I think Jefferson got the idea from Locke, and thought ti was grreat and put it in the Declaration, but to avoid plagrism put happiness instead of property.
