Abstract
The american dream is a term that has been used to encompass the founding ideas that have existed since the birth of the United States. Its definition is broad and has been open to many interpretations, which have adapted and changed over the course of american history. Liberal philosophers such as John Locke, albeit an English 17th century philosopher, had a major influence on the US from the time of the american Declaration of Independence in 1776 to the present day modern liberalism agenda, which remains significant in the White House.
Individuality is the key to the liberal ideology and this is a major facet of the american dream. The focus is on the individual's right to pursue their own interests unfettered so long as they do not interfere with another individual's right to freedom. Locke believed that society should revert to a 'state of nature' whereby people are left to their own devices, however that freedom can only exist if people are prohibited from intervening in other's freedoms.
