Which Enlightenment philosopher's ideas, emphasizing natural rights such as "life, liberty, and property," heavily influenced the American colonists' desire for independence and the drafting of the Declaration of Independence?
Correct Answer:
John Locke
Explanation:
Founding fathers like Thomas Jefferson were influenced by many Enlightenment ideals, including those of John Locke. Locke wrote at length about natural law and natural rights, arguing that all people are born with natural rights to life, liberty, and property, which he believed were independent of any government or social laws. These ideas are reflected in the Declaration of Independence's statement, "All men…are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
