Answer:
In my view, the Puritan influence on American culture is too often overlooked and that's a shame because their influence is as much a part of this country's psyche today as it was back in the 1600s.
The three principle influences of the Puritans came from i) religion, and ii) work, and iii) education where religion was the dominant theme throughout work and education ... in fact, religion pretty much summed up the Puritan existence -and their doctrine of "predestination" keep all Puritans constantly working hard in "this life" so as to be "chosen" for the next (eternal) life.
An ironic fact of the Puritans settling in America comes from the principle reason they left England was over religious differences and the Puritans not agreeing to supporting the monarch from a religious point-of-view (the Church of England was beyond reform in the eyes of Puritans). However, and herein is the irony, as soon as they settle into the colonies, they dictate that their religion will supersede everything and be called on to provide guidance as well as uniformity across the community.
So, instead of "religious freedom" from a King or Queen, the Puritans simply obviate the monarch aspect from governance and, essentially, form their government based on the same (as England) discriminatory practices.

Answer:
<h2>A. Rights of life, liberty and property</h2>
Explanation:
The Scientific Revolution had shown that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large. John Locke and other enlightment thinkers believed that there were natural laws that applied to society and government also. This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. Locke's ideal was one that promoted individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all. Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.
In his <em>Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> (1690), Locke expressed his views about natural laws / natural rights in this way:
- <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>
