John Locke and "The Enlightenment"
John Locke, was most likely the most well known enlightenment think of. And it just so happens that if mad a huge impact on Thomas Jefferson. Especially when he wrote the United States constitution.
He thought that all man kind are meant to be treated equal. so when writing the constitution he mentioned the right of man. These rights are known as liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness. It basically meant that you as the people should always have right to say something (freedom of speech). Your opinion should always be considered because the government is suppose to be taking care of you. And you most definitely have a fight to pursuit your happiness (be happy). That you too have Power, and if your government fail to meet there standers you can rebuild and construct a new one.
But where exactly does the government come from? Once again the government comes from you. The government is meant to keep everyone in check. Where do they get its power? From the people they are only as strong as you want them to be. The government works for you.
Basically these are all the Ideas of John Locke.
