The answer is B. The founding fathers were all strongly influenced by enlightened thinkers and philosophers of the time when drafting the Declaration of Independence. One particular philosopher was John Locke, who wrote in his work that the natural rights of man include "life, liberty, and property" and these natural rights should not be given up the citizen in the face of the government. "Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" is extremely similar Locke's notion of the Social Contract.

kozerog [31]

Thomas Hobbes and John Locke were two great Enlightenment thinkers that influenced political philosophy. One difference between these two philosophers is that <u>John Locke</u> believed that in order to live in a healthier society, people had to transfer some of their rights to a limited government in a "Social Contract." Under this contract, the government had to be elected and changed by the people whenever they deemed it necessary, and it also had to protect people's right to life, freedom, and property.

<u>Thomas Hobbes</u>, on the other hand, believed in establishing a social contract and promoted the idea that all individuals had to cede their natural rights to an absolute government in order to live in a better and orderly society, even meaning that people had to accept abuses (<em>The island scenario illustrates Hobbes' ideas).</em>
