John Locke

The Declaration Of Independence that Thomas Jefferson wrote explains the rights people have. Most of them fall into the rights of, Liberty, Life, and the Pursuit Of Happiness. He also explains how all people should be treated equally. And have the freedom for people to do whatever they want and no one can judge upon them. Thomas Jefferson wrote most of it because back then he was considered a smart guy, let alone with some signatures too. At this point everyone hated the King of Great Britain, for asking Americans for taxes in a high rate that barely no one could afford back then. One important part of the "Essay" is that it states, anyone can be President, your family doesn't have to be from a history of democracy.
