Question

Which philosopher had the greatest impact on the American colonists and what three ideas did he create that inspired them?

Answer 1

Answer:

John Locke

His writings influenced Voltaire and Rousseau, but most importantly, the American revolutionaries. His political ideas like those in the Two Treatises of Government, (such as civil, natural, and property rights and the job of the government to protect these rights), were put into the United States Declaration of Independence and United States Constitution.
