John Locke and "The Enlightment"


The rights that Thomas Jeffereson was talking about is that all men (people) are created equal. No one person is greater than the other person. People are equal in power as well as politically because anyone and everyone could vote and run for the government. According to the Declaration of Independence, the government comes from the people. The people have the power to overthrow the government if they dont agree with it. The government is used to protect the peoples rights.
People must have a valid reason in order to overthrow the government. They cant just go against the government for no reason. The government must be unfair and abusive to its people in order to rebel against their government.
