Colonists' views of government were heavily influenced by Enlightenment ideas, particularly those of philosophers like john Locke, who emphasized natural rights and the social contract. They also drew from British political traditions, including the Magna Carta and the English Bill of Rights, which highlighted the importance of limited government and individual liberties.
