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.
