The Enlightenment and U.S. Government

The Enlightenment A time of new and revolutionary ideas in Europe during the late 1600s and 1700s

John Locke English philosopher Argued that people had the right to life, liberty, and property Social Contract: If the government fails to protect rights, then the people have the right to overthrow that government and set up a new one.

Montesquieu French Nobleman Critic of absolute monarchies For individual freedom Believed liberty required a separation and balance of powers

Rousseau Expanded on the ideas of the social contract A community should consist of people who share common values and attitudes.

Benjamin Franklin Brought many of these ideas back from Europe and opened their discussion. Played a part in the decision to gain independence and form a new US government.
