When the Constitution was framed, the ideas of Locke and Montesquieu heavily influenced its contents.
John Locke primarily dealt with the <u>rights of human beings</u> and their freedoms. He stated that the sole duty of government was to protect the natural rights of its citizens; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This idea is clearly seen in the Preamble; <em>"...and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."</em>, which is a translation of Locke's idea.
Baron de Montesquieu on the other hand created ideas that were key to <u>developing a balanced government</u>, primarily the <u>separation of powers</u>. This is a fundamental part of our union, keeping the whole government in balance, making sure no one branch becomes more powerful than the other.

Egypt's government continues to hold on to power after two weeks of sometimes violent protests. History offers a guide to what makes a revolution more likely to succeed — or fail. Iran's popular uprising, for example, succeeded in 1979, but China crushed the 1989 uprising in Tiananmen Square.
There were 2 significant compromises made at the Constitutional convention, including:
A) Connecticut (Great) Compromise: This compromise made it so that both small and large states had significant power in the federal government. This compromise made it so that the number of representatives in the House of Representatives was based on a states population. Along with this every state, regardless of size, would have 2 representatives in the Senate.
B) 3/5ths Compromise: This compromise was made in regards to how slaves would count towards a states population. At this time, every 5 slaves would count as 3 people towards a states population. This ensured that the Southern states would be able to gain more representatives based on their slave population.
I'm pretty sure that's true.
