racterized by having a democratic form of government. The Roman Republic later changed to a dictatorship and became the Roman Empire, a period of time in which Rome covered much territory in Europe, the Middle East, and even North Africa. Christianity became an important part of Rome once it became an empire and continued to expand in influence even after the fall of Rome. The Roman Catholic Church had a great deal of political, intellectual, and spiritual power throughout Europe, which it retained up until the Reformation.

His <em>Second</em><em> </em><em>Treatise</em><em> </em><em>Concerning</em><em> </em><em>Civil</em><em> </em><em>Government</em> almost directly reflects these ideas. He uses the phrase "life, liberty, and property" which is very similar to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".
