Abstract
The main focus of this paper is how the philosophy of John Locke is interpreted by the American people during the period between 1750 and 1850. The paper outlines Locke’s fundamental ideas and concepts, examines four social groups – marginal religious factions, women, non-property owners and slaves – that were prohibited from the political sphere in eighteenth and nineteenth-century America on the basis of cultural, religious, and ideological reasons, and demonstrates how with the help of Lockean logic, natural law, and natural rights these groups manage to implement these concepts to expand the electorate and transform the very notions of individual rights in civil society.
