15 *John Locke* Believed people were reasonable and moral. Believed all humans were entitled to Natural Rights such as life, liberty, and property.

16 John Locke Wrote Two Treatises of Government The best government had limited power and was accepted by all citizens

17 John Locke People have the right to overthrow their government if it violates peoples natural rights Influenced leaders of the American Revolution, such as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison.

18 John Locke = Life, Liberty, and Property

19 Thomas Hobbes Outlined his ideas in his book Leviathan People are naturally cruel, greedy, and selfish.

20 Thomas Hobbes People must enter a “social contract,” an agreement to give up freedom for an organized society. Only a powerful government could ensure an orderly society. He favored an absolute monarchy

21 Hobbes= people are bad and need a strong government to control them.

22 *Baron de Montesquieu* Studied government throughout history and throughout Europe. Criticized absolute monarchies.

23 Montesquieu In his book, The Spirit of Laws, he shared his idea of a government with three branches. Legislative, Judicial, and Executive with each one holding power over the other creating a system of Checks and Balances

24 Montesquieu = checks and balances through the separation of powers (Three branches of government Legislative, Judicial, and Executive)

25 Voltaire Spent his life writing about political and religious freedom. “My trade is to say what I think” With his pen he battled inequality, injustice, and superstition.

27 Jean Jacques Rousseau People are naturally good but quickly corrupted by the evils of society especially the unequal distribution of society. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

32 New Economic Thinking Laissez Faire (les ay FEHR): Allowing businesses to run with little or no government interference. Adam Smith = father of capitalism -Believed the concept of supply and demand ensure that the economy thrived.
