When the Constitution was framed, the ideas of Locke and Montesquieu heavily influenced its contents.
John Locke primarily dealt with the <u>rights of human beings</u> and their freedoms. He stated that the sole duty of government was to protect the natural rights of its citizens; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This idea is clearly seen in the Preamble; <em>"...and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..."</em>, which is a translation of Locke's idea.
Baron de Montesquieu on the other hand created ideas that were key to <u>developing a balanced government</u>, primarily the <u>separation of powers</u>. This is a fundamental part of our union, keeping the whole government in balance, making sure no one branch becomes more powerful than the other.
