John Locke should be one of the one?s that have the most impact on the Enlightenment because he proclaimed that men are free by nature and should not be subject to a monarchy. In Locke?s ?Two Treatises of Government,? he strongly defends that men are free and equal and that they have rights such rights like life, liberty, and property that are independent of any particular laws of the society and that no one can take these rights away from you. Locke thought that all people were reasonable and moral. He also feels that when the government violates these rights that the people have a right to legitimately rebel.
