Locke was an influence on the founding fathers of our country. What two ideas did he contribute to the Enlightenment? Where in the founding documents of the United States do we see each of those ideas demonstrated? (4 points) make it as simple and short as possible
John Locke contributed the ideas of natural rights and social contract to the Enlightenment. We see his idea of natural rights reflected in the Declaration of Independence, where it states that all people are endowed with the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. His idea of a social contract is demonstrated in the Constitution, which establishes a system of government based on the consent of the governed and the protection of individual rights.
