John Locke

Explanation:

John Locke had always expressed the idea that governments do not give rights to citizens, God does. He argued that men (human kind) are naturally free. John Locke's "natural law" philosophy is based off of the 10 commandments. You have the right to be free, say what you'd like and have unalienable rights, but you cannot commit murder or steal; in other words taking away other peoples rights of life or property is not a right given to anyone.
