The Declaration of Independence contains many examples of enlightenment philosophy. The most notable is the idea that Government is derived from the people and that citizens band together for mutual protection. Jefferson drew this from John Locke, in particular.
<span>The Greeks and the
Romans, though different in their way of seeing religion and philosophy,
gave meaning to their world through polytheism, having a Pantheon of
gods and goddesses that at present, are confused (coming to create the
term Greece-Roman), since both cultures had very similar beliefs, like the Roman gods, the same as the Greeks but of different names. Both
believed that the gods influenced the life, triumph and failure of the
human being, and made sacrifices to satisfy the gods or earn their
favors. <span>In addition, scientific and logical
thought was key to they development, although the Greek sought philosophy
and understanding the universe, while the Roman was practical and
created laws and norms.</span></span>
