" The State of Nature has a Law of Nature to govern it, which obliges every one: And Reason, which is that Law, teaches all Mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his Life, Health, Liberty, or Possessions. [john Locke, The Second Treatise of Civil Government, §6]
"Locke's state of nature contains no noble savages or utopian freedom. It is a state of poverty as well as being, like Hobbes's, a condition that is "nasty, brutish, and short." The state of nature is poor because, as individuals, we are little able to protect our persons and property from the predations or dishonesty of others. Locke's state of nature, however, does contain right and wrong, and so natural rights. Thus, "to secure these Rights, governments are instituted among men."
Jefferson's natural rights section of the Declaration of Independence follows this:
"We hold these Truths to be self-evident, that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness -- That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the Governed, that whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these Ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it..."

From what I understand, Plato is considered the father of political philosophy.

One of Rome's greatest contributions to political philosophy (and political reality) was the idea of representative government featuring limited terms of office. Quite unique in their own day, and not yet fully accepted throughout the global community, such "basics" of republican-style government have had a powerful influence in the history of the West and beyond.
"Growing old in your childhood home" is a statement that reflects the political philosophy of conservatism.
Jefferson's political philosophy was to always have a "peaceful revolution" and that is what he got when Napolean of France sold the Louisiana Territory to him without a fight.
