enlightenment thinkers such as john locke and benjamin franklin led a revolution based on ______ and _____.

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The question does not include options, but we can answer the following.

Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke and Benjamin Franklin led a revolution based on the idea that freedom was the most important right and the right to keep private poverty against tyrant rulers as was the case of the English monarchy in colonial times.

The Enlightenment period had some illustrious political thinkers and philosophers such as Montesquiou, Thomas Hobbes, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, and John Locke. Their thoughts influenced revolutionary movements like the American Revolutionary War of Independence and the French Revolution.

Benjamin Franklin was one of those Enlightenment thinkers in the American colonies that received the influence of Lock's ideas. He believed that freedom was the ultimate right for people and that every American had the right to keep their private property safe, without paying excessive taxation like the ones imposed by the British government.
