18 th Century

List the rights you value. If these rights were taken away, what means would you go to get them back?

Occurred during the 18 th century Led to scientific, political, and social advances Stressed the reason to question previous doctrines Definition A time period when people had no individual rights until brave men spoke up and encourage democratic revolutions to throw off the king and queen if they denied you your natural rights

Moral or inalienable rights Not contingent upon laws, customs, or beliefs of a particular society Different from legal rights, which are held by legal statutes by some type of legislature

Lived between English philosopher Wrote the Two Treatises of Government Believed that by nature, people had certain rights and duties Natural rights (liberty (freedom), life and property) People formed government to protect these rights People could change the government if it failed to protect their rights Rejected Divine Right: Belief that kings and queens were chosen by God

Lived between England He believed people needed to come together under a govt. Without govt., there would be conflict and war Govt. could be a monarchy or strong body Govt. should fight to protect its people, which would help them better serve their families and govt. Wrote Leviathan- idea of social contract

Lived between French Philosopher Wrote The Spirit of Laws Govt.’s purpose is to bring about freedom/liberty Govt. should be in three branches, each having its own power Citizens would live freely, laws would treat them equally, people would feel safe

Swiss/French Philosopher Wrote The Social Contract Believed that people are good, people not God give the govt. the power Individuals give up some of their rights for common good or what is best for the society Citizens contribute to the “general will”, serve everyone If the govt. fails its obligations to the people, they have the right to overthrow the govt.

French Philosopher Wrote Candide Freedom of thought was the most important Distrusted democracy Believed only an enlightened monarch could bring change Fought for civil rights-fair trial/freedom of religion King’s best interest to improve the power and wealth of his people and kingdom

The concept of Natural Rights, a Social Contract and the Enlightenment inspired people to fight for their rights and led to the start of the American and French Revolutions. The beliefs of the Enlightenment thinkers appear in several important documents: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and The Bill of Rights. We will study each of these documents and find the ideas of these men.
