John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

There were many people from the enlightenment thinkers. There was this man names John Locke who was very helpful in the enlightenment. Thomas Jefferson was inspired by John Locke and made rights. Jefferson's rights were life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Those rights weren't bad because they are still working till this very day. The rights are making everything better for everyone. The Democracy is working good and nobody is going against the rights that Jefferson has made. In the democracy there are the president, vice president, governments, and senators.

The government would get its power by the people. The people were the ones who mostly picked the decisions. The government aren't the only ones who makes the decisions they have people who also make the decisions. Its not like how it was when Kings were the only ones in charge. Now its more then no one would have too much power and over rule the land or country. There are people behind and in front, they have decisions now to make a new law or choices to be made. No one have too much power. The Enlightenment Thinkers gave people like Thomas Jefferson the idea to make these changes and make a democracy.
