The right of revolution was important because colonists were preparing for a revolution against British rule.

In political philosophy, the right of revolution is the people's duty to overcome a government that acts opposite to their common interests and endangers them without reason.

John Locke's ideas on inalienable rights, such as Life, Liberty, and Property lead to the notion of right of revolution, and for that, he was recognized as one of the prophets of the American and French revolutions.
