 * 1)  John Locke inspired a more cautious way to analyze governing bodies. The English philosopher and political theorist is described to by History.com in the article "John Locke" to have, “Laid much of the groundwork for the Enlightenment and made central contributions to the development of liberalism”. In addition to contributing to Enlightenment by further emphasizing individualism, Locke uncovered a new method to scrutinize the government. Describing the democratic take of politics, “Liberals typically believe that the government in necessary to protect individuals from being harmed by others; but they also recognize that government itself can pose a threat to liberty” (Girvetz). Opposed to having a negative image of the government, liberals understand and appreciate the benefits of the system. Liberalism believes the main purpose of the government is to protect individual rights. The new take on the government contrasts greatly with the previous ideas of classical republicanism that existed. Clashing vastly, classical republicanism greatly values the common good of the people, while liberalism tends to lean towards the individualism aspect of the Enlightenment. By having different ideas on the purpose of the government, the system begins to run differently, creating laws to benefit individuals, opposed to the common good. In addition, the ideas developed by John Locke created a new aspect to analyze the system. Individuals became more cautious and hesitant when questioning the constrictions the government may have on their liberty. Although any constrictions the government may have enforced, people believed that the intentions were the common good. However, now people became suspicious of the government jeopardizing their opportunities and right to freedom. By essentially changing the purpose of the government in the people’s perspectives, the government was more tediously analyzed to prevent constraining of liberty.

1.  2. John Locke 3. John Kinney 4. John Locke was a political philosopher in the 1600’s, who shaped the ideals of freedom within the early days of America. One of Locke’s most influential ideas was religious tolerance on the part of the government. An article from The History Channel delves into this idea and says, “ Locke suggested that governments should respect freedom of religion except when the dissenting belief was a threat to public order” (HistoryStaff). His role in history was huge in the sense that he wanted religious tolerance and freedom of belief for the new government that was evolving in America. His overall goal was to establish inalienable rights that every person is born with and cannot be taken away. These inalienable rights were to protect the life, liberty, and estates of the American people. This idea became a staple to first world countries under democracy because it gives the freedom to attain any, and all necessities in order to live and it will be protected, and respected by the government unless it infringes on the well being of the public.
