The Enlightenment Philosophers, but especially John Locke, influenced Thomas Jefferson as he drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Locke was a major proponent of the belief that humans have natural rights and that we enter into a social contract in return for giving up some liberty to the government in exchange for protection of the natural rights.

Jefferson used this belief when he wrote about "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" cribbing Locke's "life, liberty, and the pursuit of property"

Answer:

maintaining the coming peace

preventing future world wars

Explanation:

Supposing I'm President Wilson the United States, or one of the Americans as World War I ended as considering the impending victory of the United States and its allies, I believe the issues that would be a concern for Americans as World War I drew to a close are:

1. maintaining the coming peace

2. preventing future world wars

This is because, despite the potential victory, there are still Americans that lost their lives during the war.

Also, it affected the home front of the Americans in terms of socioeconomic and political issues.

Not only that, the death of humans generally because of war is not good enough for humanity.

Hence, there is a need to maintain peace and prevent future wars.
