The European Union currently has a contentious record in terms of its economic and politic success. However, the union can be considered a success in that it has achieved something groundbreaking in a part of the world that has historically been ravaged by conflict over the centuries. The union seeks to create democratic peace and economic integration between the countries which it has so far succeeded in doing. The union has also succeeded in removing national borders and barriers to trade increasing the flow of goods and people throughout the continent. There are many other factors that can be considered successes, but recently the union has had troubles in regards to economic growth which have put the union at risk of potential collapse or countries potentially deciding to leave the union.
Enlightenment thinkers promoted the idea of the rights of citizens and the people's authority to create--and to change--their own governments. The works of Enlightenment philosophers such as John Locke, Baron de Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau were read by leaders of the revolution movements in America. The American Revolution sought to put those Enlightenment ideas into practice in creating a government based on liberty and justice for all.
As an example of one Enlightenment philosopher's political thoughts that influenced the American revolution, let's look at John Locke. According to Locke's view, a government's power to govern comes from the consent of the people themselves -- those who are to be governed. This was a change from the previous ideas of "divine right monarchy" -- that a king ruled because God appointed him to be the ruler. Locke repudiated the views of divine right monarchy in his <em>First Treatise on Civil Government.</em> In his<em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em>, Locke argued for the rights of the people to create their own governments according to their own desires and for the sake of protecting their own life, liberty, and property.
The American founding fathers read Locke (as well as other Enlightenment writers like Montesquieu and Rousseau). The American Revolution (1775-1783) was inspired by these ideas.
