Several influences shaped the concept of self-government, including Enlightenment philosophies that emphasized individual rights and the social contract, notably articulated by thinkers like john Locke and Jean-Jacques Rousseau. The American and French Revolutions demonstrated practical applications of self-governance, inspiring movements for democracy worldwide. Additionally, colonial experiences, particularly in America, highlighted the desire for autonomy from oppressive rule, further embedding the principles of self-rule in political thought. These influences combined to foster a belief in the importance of popular sovereignty and civic participation.
