    John Locke is one of my favorite enlightenment thinker. John Locke was a minster, became a doctor, then ended up as a philosopher and political scientists, he also was a writer. Locke believed the government suppose to protect the people and people's natural rights. People shouldn't give up some freedom so the government can protect their rights. Stated in fee.org "Locke believed that people was reasonable and moral. That everyone had natural rights from the moment that they were born. Natural rights were life, liberty,  and property." Locke leaves thoughts on human understanding and politics that still influence the structure of the environment today. The third president of the United States Thomas Jefferson was influenced by john Locke 's ideas and put some of his ideas in the constitution.
