I need help with a 5 paragraph writing on why John Locke made the biggest contribution in the Age of Revolution.

As you write your blog, be sure to include the following elements:

-an introduction that clearly states your argument
-transitions that provide a clear flow of ideas
-correct grammar and spelling
-references to the research in your writing (proper citations where appropriate)
-links within your writing to credible and informative websites that offer your readers
-more information about the historical figure
-a concluding statement or paragraph that incorporates your argument

John Locke's views on why humans left nature formed the intellectual foundation for much of the age of revolution (US, France, etc). The key component of this is that Locke believed that we all make the conscious choice to form together for our mutual benefit. Even though we form together we retain "natural rights." Locke defined those as "life, liberty, and property." This ideal famouly popped up in the Declaration of Independence when Jefferson wrote about our inalienable rights of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."

Locke's influence on Jefferson is almost absolute and many revolutionaries took their cues from Jefferson & Locke. Both, for instance, believed that a little revolution every now and then is good for the soul and is the obligation of a free-thinking citizen.
