John Locke had been a thinker during the enlightenment period and had ben very inspiring to people struggling with their government. In the constitution, whicch had been written with the help of John Locke had specific lines that insure life to be well in american life. A such line is the people will have certain unalieable rights such as life liberty and the pursuit of happiness. These rights are guarenteed to the people and they have these rights as they strive to survive. These guarnteed rights are given to the people no matter what ruler or system of government is around. John Locke wanted the people to have power in the government and have rights that cannot be taken away. Even though Thomas Jefferson was the top contributor to the constistution but alot of these ideas were addapted to the enlightentment thinker John Locke whos goal was to protect his people from corrupt leaders or government.
