John Locke and "The Enlightment"

The declaration of Independence has rights that consents to all the people of America. John Locke influenced Thomas Jefferson to write his opinions on The Declaration Of Independence. Most of the rights and things that are written on the Declaration of Independence comes from John Locke. The rights that Jefferson wrote on it was life,liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And also if any form of government becomes destructive,it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it.According to The Declaration Of Independence, the government comes from us,the people. The government gets it's power from us. If we don't like the way the government is we can change the way it is because we have the power. John Locke also says that all men are created equal, so to back that up, John influenced Jefferson to give everybody the same rights, giving everybody equal power over the government.
