john Locke was a philosopher during the enlightenment. He was a deist. They believed that God created the world, but did not believe in miracles, etc. He believed that humans were naturally good. Came up with the idea of Tabula Rasa; everyone is born with a clean slate. People have to experience things to learn about them. This was one of the many things he believed that went against everything people had believed to be true up to this point. One of his other ideas was that people are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This along with many of his other ideas( separation of powers, to keep one part of government from becoming too strong) were reflected in the United States government when the constitution was written.
