Hi!

The ideas of the enlightenment were exponential to the ideas we have today regarding politics. Great philosophers like John Locke set forth ideas like the invisible hand and the social contract.

Thoughts like these led to the fall of one of the most common forms of government at the time - a monarch. This led to nations changing to form a true system of government, where not one individual has too much power.

The ideas set forth by great thinkers like Locke helped put power in the hands of the people, not one individual at the top. The ideologies developed during this time are still in place today.

People conjured up the idea of splitting the government up into branches, as a way to prevent one person from having all the power. Our government still follows this set of ideas, by being split up into three different branches.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Was Thomas Jefferson a hero or a hypocrite?
Gemiola [76]
"Was _______ a hero or hypocrite?" could be asked about almost any figure in history.  Human beings are complicated creatures who live amid conflicting situations.  Rarely do you find anyone who is totally consistent in every point of view they hold and every action that they take.

In the case of Thomas Jefferson, the "hero or hypocrite" question tends to focus on his ideals, as expressed in the Declaration of Independence (which he authored), that all people "<span>are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness" -- as contrasted with the fact that Jefferson owned hundreds of slaves and fathered several children by Sally Hemings, one of his slaves.

Jefferson indeed was heroic as one of America's founding fathers to set this nation on a course of liberty and justice for all.  But slavery was deeply embedded in the colonies and not something easily or quickly undone.  Jefferson's slaves were those which he had inherited from his father or acquired by marriage to his wife, Martha (whose family also owned slaves).  Jefferson had criticized the British for sponsoring the slave trade.  He also led the effort to have the state of Virginia ban the importing of slaves in 1778.  Jefferson did have plans for the emancipating of slaves, seen in a bill he proposed as governor of Virginia in 1779, but recommended emancipation as a gradual process due to the complexities of the situation.  

So, "hero or hypocrite"?  The answer to that is not quick or easy.  Jefferson had ideas and plans to address the slavery situation, but recognized the need to proceed gradually in order to make such a transition without great turmoil affecting the new country.</span>

C) Individual States

A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence of the states. The Articles created a weak central government, therefore they only received the powers which previous colonies had recognized as belonging to the parliament.

Hope this helps :)
