In comparison to American society and the events that took place during the Enlightenment, one major concept stands out: The concept that the right to life, liberty and property should be allowed for each man and woman (as per john Locke). This was a significant contribution which Jefferson utilized when creating the basis for the American Declaration and ideas for the Constitution.
The concept that all are created equal was significant and each had a right to an educated view and understanding. Especially when discussing the role of the government in their lives.
