Enlightenment

Enlightenment is sorta like creation but slightly different. Locke believed that people had life , liberty and property. He had a modern nature and felt that all people are born free and equal. His idea that a government's power should come from the people is the foundation of modern democracy. Enlightenment thinkers laid the foundation for our modern views of government. Inspired by the scientific revolution, they created a bridge from selfish, greedy kings and absolute monarchs to the governments that focused on the needs and rights of the people.
