Where did thomas jefferson get his inspiration for the declaration of independence?
Jefferson got his inspiration for the Declaration of Independence primarily from British political philosopher John Locke, who stated that men are born equal and endowed with natural rights. Jean-Jacques Rousseau was another significant influence; he set forth the theory of the "social contract" in which the government derives its right to rule only from the consent of the governed. Jefferson declared also that the French philosopher Montesquieu was a major influence.
What political philosophy did Thomas Jefferson use to author the deceleration of independence?
John Locke
The Founding Fathers adopted some then-novel theories of government, which had actually been around since the Athenian city-state of Ancient Greece. Rather than being a hereditary power handed down among powerful families (divine right of kings), philosophers such as john Locke saw government as a shared agreement among peoples of a nation (social contract). Locke said as much in his Essay concerning Human Understanding (circa 1690).
The phrase "consent of the governed" in the Declaration of Independence is used to support the contention that a government can fail to be responsive to those it governs, often because it equates governing with absolute rule.
