Simon Bolivar and Latin American Revolutions

Simon Bolivar is a Creole that was born in Caracas, Venezuela on July  24, 1783. Bolivar is a liberator who lead a military so that south american country's can get their freedom from the rule of the Spanish ( Spain ). Bolivar got his ideas from the enlightenment and the enlightenment thinkers, For example, John Locke was an enlightenment thinker who talked about equal rights for every man. He helped the countries Colombia, Venezuela, Bolivia (The Country Named After Simon Bolivar), Ecuador and Peru. They named the country bolivia after Simon Bolivar because he helped them get the country their freedom that they wanted. Simon Bolivar was also influenced by the American and French Revolutions because in those revolutions, they were going for the same cause, To get freedom from their leaders and to create a democracy. What really influence him was that the Spanish did have a good set-up so the government there fell and thats when they revolted.

John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

John Locke Was a big influence in history. He hugely inspired Thomas Jefferson, The Third President of the United States. John Locke inspired Jefferson to create the constitution. The "rights" That Thomas Jefferson was talking about was that man should be created equal. This Means that he wanted man and women to have equal rights. No Man was better than another and nobody had more rights than the next guy.

According to the document, The United States constitution says that the government receives its power and representatives from the hardworking people who vote. The Citizens Vote for our leader, the mayor, the senate and much more. All these ideas mainly come from John Locke so he inspired our laws and our constitution.
