Question

What ideas did john locke did thomas jefferson include in the declaration of independence?

Answer 1

Answer:

A legitimate government based on civic rights

Explanation:

John Locke was one of the first to deny the divine rights of kings to govern in the way they wanted. In his Second Treatise Locke came up with the idea of a legitimate government controlled by its citizens. This was very much to the likings of Thomas Jefferson, when he was writing the declaration, addressing the British King George the 3rd.
