The basis for many revolutions in the Caribbean and the Americas in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries was primarily Locke’s ideas in Two Treatises of Government. John Locke's concepts of natural rights, government by consent, and the right of rebellion against tyrannical authority significantly influenced revolutionary thought during this period.
