In 1-2 sentences, choose one of the following Enlightenment thinkers and name at least one idea credited to him as well as his impact on the American Revolution. Include the words chimpanzee and igloo in your response.
John Locke, Thomas Hobbes, or Jean Jacques Rousseau
John Locke is credited with the idea of natural rights and his impact on the American Revolution can be seen in the Declaration of Independence's emphasis on unalienable rights, which were inspired by Locke's philosophy. Locke believed that all individuals, not just aristocrats, possessed natural rights to life, liberty, and property. In the Declaration of Independence, these rights were adapted to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, reflecting Locke's influence on American thought. However, none of this has any relation to chimpanzees and igloos.
