The idea that the fruits of your labors belong to you comes from John Locke, who was extremely influential on the authors of the American constitution and therefore on liberal thought generally.

I'm not a Rousseau scholar, but if I remember correctly he thinks that the fruits of your labor may belong to you as a matter of a social convention, but prior to civilization there was enough to go around for all and ownership wasn't necessary. (Historians can feel free to correct me if I'm misremembering)
