17. The idea of rights passed from the classical to the modern world through medieval Christian philosophy. This process was complex and remains rather obscure. Christian philosophers incorporated the classical idea of natural law into the Christian conception of divine law in their attempts to justify the right to private property. At the same time various medieval power-holders, such as landowners and urban corporations, asserted claims to customary and legal rights against monarchs seeking to increase their own power and wealth. The Magna Carta (1215) is a famous example of such demands. The Protestant Reformation made freedom of conscience a fundamental political issue of early modern Europe. In 17th century England the principles of property rights and religious toleration came together in resistance to the absolutist pretensions of the Stuart monarchy. John Locke gave these ideas philosophical expression in his Second Treatise of Government, in which he claimed that everyone had natural rights to life, liberty and property and that Government was a trust established to protect these rights through the rule of law. His theory was based on Christian natural-law philosophy but provided the outlines of the modern conception of human rights.
The idea of natural rights was particularly influential in America, where the demand for freedom of conscience and resistance to excessive taxation were exceptionally strong, and in France, where absolute monarchy was reluctant to grant civil liberties, such as freedom of expression and conscience, that had been won in England. The American Declaration of Independence (1776) justified the revolt against British rule in terms of 'unalienable rights' to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
