The Enlightenment Philosophers, but especially John Locke, influenced Thomas Jefferson as he drafted the Declaration of Independence.
Locke was a major proponent of the belief that humans have natural rights and that we enter into a social contract in return for giving up some liberty to the government in exchange for protection of the natural rights.
Jefferson used this belief when he wrote about "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" cribbing Locke's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of property"

Answer:
The Great Compromise solved issues between states with small populations and states with large populations.
The Great Compromise was developed at the Constitutional Convention and helped in creating the modern day structure of Congress. In this deal, both states with small populations and large populations got something they wanted. For example, the Senate would be composed of 2 Senators from each state, regardless of their states population. This helped to ensure that smaller states had a voice in the creation of federal laws.
On the other hand, the House of Representatives would have the number of representatives based on a states population. The greater the population, the more representatives. This made larger states happy, as they felt this accurately represented the power they should have in Congress

Two conditions that an indentured servant has to face include:
- severe punishment for disobedience
- restrictions on personal activities
Indentured servants were people who signed a labor contract with a master.
This master would pay for them to come the American colonies and would then take care of them for the duration of their contract as they worked to pay off the debt of bringing them to the Americas.
Although there were laws protecting these servants, they had restrictions placed on them such as:
- punishments for disobeying their master could include whipping
- there were things they were not allowed to do such as hold money or leave the plantation without permission.
We can conclude that while indentured servants were not enslaved people, they were sometimes treated as if they were.
