John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

The rights Jefferson was talking about is all men are created equal. Rights of Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness. No, man has more rights without anymore. Were all balanced, and equal.

Where does the government get its powers? The government gets the power from us, the people, us the equal men and women. We can like the government one day and not the next. We can take it down, we can get a new government. We rater have Safety and Happiness. As long as the foundation stands, we can decide who goes in, and who comes out. Us, the people control the government.

Jefferson got most his idea's from John Locke, and he influenced the democracy.
