Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
"Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" is a well-known phrase from the United States Declaration of Independence. The phrase gives three examples of the unalienable rights which the Declaration says have been given to all humans by their Creator, and which governments are created to protect. Like the other principles in the Declaration of Independence, this phrase is not legally binding, but has been widely referenced and seen as an inspiration for the basis of government.
Right of revolution
In political philosophy, the right of revolution (or right of rebellion) is the right or duty of a people to "alter or abolish" a government that acts against their common interests or threatens the safety of the people without cause. Stated throughout history in one form or another, the belief in this right has been used to justify various revolutions, including the American Revolution, French Revolution, the Russian Revolution, and the Iranian Revolution.
Labor theory of property
The labor theory of property (also called the labor theory of appropriation, labor theory of ownership, labor theory of entitlement, or principle of first appropriation) is a theory of natural law that holds that property originally comes about by the exertion of labor upon natural resources. The theory has been used to justify the homestead principle, which holds that one may gain whole permanent ownership of an unowned natural resource by performing an act of original appropriation.
Associationnisme
L'associationnisme (qui s'écrit parfois aussi : associationisme) est une thèse philosophique concernant l'esprit et la connaissance. Fortement liée à l'empirisme, elle prétend expliquer par l'association des idées toutes les opérations intellectuelles, tous les principes de la raison et même tout l'ensemble de la vie mentale. David Hume comparait l'association des idées à la loi de l'attraction universelle découverte par Newton. Ainsi, l'association des idées serait le fait auquel tout se ramène, le mode d'explication le plus général : (Hume).
