∙ 14y agoAlthough I am only in the 8th grade, I do believe that English philosopher john Locke inspired many of the ideas behind the Declaration of Independence.
Jefferson took Locke's natural rights (life, liberty, and property) and changed them to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
The philosopher, Montesquieu, in the book, "The Spirit of the Laws," described England's form of government, which was a limited monarchy, as having separation of powers and checks and balances. This also influenced US government; when writing the Constitution, our Founding Fathers adapted this idea.
Hope this helps a bundle!!
