Question

What events/ people/time periods seem to have an influence on Locke's writing?

Answer 1

Answer:)

the U.S. Declaration of Independence
John Locke's political theory directly influenced the U.S. Declaration of Independence in its assertion of natural individual rights and its grounding of political authority in the consent of the governed.

His political theory of government by the consent of the governed as a means to protect the three natural rights of “life, liberty and estate” deeply influenced the United States' founding documents. His essays on religious tolerance provided an early model for the separation of church and state.
