One of john locke’s most attractive ideas was that people had a set of natural rights. how did those natural rights get interpreted into the declaration of independence, and what has been the effect on america as a country?

These natural rights were interpreted into the Declaration of Independence as unalienable rights that one is granted when born. The redress of grievances stated that Britain didn't respect the rights they had. Now, the US Constitution has a Bill of Rights stating what rights the civilians have. Everyone has the freedom of speech, press, religion, petition, etc... Hope this helps! :)
