Philosophers Who Influenced the Constitution

Thomas Hobbes (England) Lived during the English Civil War in the 1600s Without government, life would be “nasty, brutish, and short.” People form governments as a “social compact,” or a promise to work together to have a functioning society instead of chaos and constant competition. People need a strong government and laws to help them live together peacefully

John Locke (England) All people are born free, equal, and independent Natural Rights that no government can take away: Life, liberty, and property If gov’t tries to take away natural rights, they are breaking the social contract People give up part of their freedom in exchange for protection of natural rights

Baron de Montesquieu (France) Separation of Powers: divide the gov’t into different branches to balance each other No branch can become too strong or threaten individual rights How many branches of government does the U.S. have?
