The Renaissance was a cultural movement that was born in Florence, Italy, and aimed at transforming the dogmatic thinking of the time through the ideas of humanism. This means seeing the world in different ways using art, philosophy, science and politics to create a new vision of man and his role in the world. The deep sleep to which Erasmus refers is the backwardness that was lived at the time in the sixteenth century that was due to the obscurantism in which dogmatic and rigid ideas predominated, for which the rebirth was the awakening of society in which knowledge becomes the fundamental pillar and no longer religion. In this way the theocentrism is abandoned and this allowed for example the discovery of new lands that would later be colonized, discoveries are made in astrology and revolutionary ideas arise as those of Copernico and his heliocentric theory.
Popular sovereignty is the idea that government's power should be determined by the people. The Declaration asserts that to secure their individual rights, the people institute governments for themselves -- that governments derive "their just powers from the consent of the governed."
The same phrase within the Declaration focuses on the idea of a social contract - that our agreement to live under a government is an implicit pact between the governors and the governed. Social contract theory was argued by English philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes and John Locke in the 17th century. American founding fathers took a number of their ideas from the political philosophy of John Locke. Locke's <em> Second Treatise on Civil Government</em> put forth his social contract theory and design for a representative form of government.
