=__1. John Locke__= Tommy and Bryce

=
John Locke was a philosopher during the 17th and 18th century enlightenment. Locke gave the Western world modern ideas of human nature and understanding. His spark of rebellion against the Church and social dominance was with his publication of A Letter Concerning Toleration. In his work, he says that the Catholic churches threat to non-believers disqualified them from tolerance, as the Christian church gained tolerance. He believed that the churches shouldn't have the power and being the son to a leader doesn't mean you have the blood to be a king. As Locke once said, "“All mankind... being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions” (Locke). We see from this quote that he believed anyone can be king as we are all born equal and pure. No one is born with extra knowledge or understanding of how to rule. Locke was a very powerful person during the Enlightenment era.======

=__2. Sir Isaac Newton__= Bryce and Tommy

Isaac Newton was born on December 25, 1642 in Lincolnshire, England. Newton is one of the most infamous scientists of all time and did more than just study motion. Newton challenged the ideas of his time, giving a mathematical solution to how things worked. As Newton once said, “I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies, but not the madness of people” (Newton). In this quote he admits that he has found the mathematical solution to “heavenly bodies”, which at that time were planets. The church at that time had deemed that the planets were connected with the power of God. He believed that God made the many things in our Universe but wasn’t the cause of their movements. This under minded the Church and thus he changed how people thought. The Enlightenment era advanced even more from his benefits to the science world.
