John Locke and the Enlightenment

The "Rights" that Jefferson is talking about the qoute "all mean are created equally. He is talking about that everyone should be treated the same. Every one should have and together they form the whole group and no more discrimination to people.

The declaration of independence says that the government from the people. We are the ones that decide how the government should be and who they should be.The goverment gets his power from the people.John locke was the one that developed this ideas and who gathered ideas for the perfect government from enlightenment thinkers.
