<span>John Locke used the claim that men are naturally free and equal as part of the justification for understanding legitimate political government as the result of a social contract where people in the state of nature conditionally transfer some of their rights to the government in order to better insure the stable, comfortable enjoyment of their lives, liberty, and property.</span>
Based on answer choices I've seen elsewhere, I would say:
the right to AN EDUCATION
The phillosophers of the Enlightenment period emphasized human reason and scientific knowledge was in contrast to superstition and traditional beliefs. They wanted to apply such principles to the issues of government and society, and that meant education for all citizens. "Dare to know! Have the courage to use your intelligence!" was how one Enlightenment thinker (Immanuel Kant) summed up what they meant by "enlightenment."
The rights of people to assemble for political discourse, as well as the rights of people to participate in the rule (governing) of their own societies were also outgrowths of the Enlightenment emphasis. But it began with an emphasis on education and the use of everyone's mental resources.
Government powers not provided to the national government in the us constitution but are rather given to the states by the 10th amendment are called <em>reserved powers</em>. :)
