The Importance of the Enlightenment

"Government with the consent of the governed"

John Locke, the father of Liberalism, greatly influenced Thomas Jefferson in creating the Declaration of Independence. His theory of a government working under a social contract was very different than Hobbe’s idea of despotism. The colonists reached the new land with these enlightenment ideals, and soon were challenging the rule of Britian’s King George.

Discuss John Locke’s main concepts and how his fundamental ideals is still present in today’s society.
