John Locke and "The Enlightenment"

In the constitution Thomas Jefferson spoke of alot of rights that were going to be given to the people of this newly established government in this newly established country.Also known as America.The constitution was very strongly influenced by the words of John Locke.
Some of the rights mentioned in the Constitution were that every man is equal.There was no longer one man that was better that the other or that could be looked as like better than the next.There was no longer a king in charge but a government that made decision as a whole.As a whole they would appoint one person to represent to country.And if that person abused his rights as representative he could be taken out of office.
The government get its power from us the people.The same way that we have elected the person in power, we have the privileged to vote them out under the right circumstances.Such as abusing ones authority.And also trying to over step ones boundaries.
