I think john Locke heavily influenced American thinking. His idea of the Social Contract gave American the reason, even responsibility, to break away from England. Also, Thomas Jefferson modeled the Declaration of Independence (notably life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness) from the philosophy of John Locke.
