Golovko, Yu. M. John Adam’s Conception of Politics and Law: Influence of John Locke’s Philosophy on Formation of the American Revolutionary Paradigm

Abstract: In the period of the Revolution and formation of the Republic idea, American political and law conceptions managed to combine numerous and very often contradictory sources. One of the intellectual tendencies of those times was Locke’s liberalism. Complicated synthesis of political conceptions of those times is also viewed based on the example of John Adams, major American ideologist of government and law. Special attention is given to the conception of freedom and slavery which later became the basis of the American revolutionary paradigm
