Essential Question: How did the ideas of
Enlightenment thinkers influence American
government today?
For your Enlightenment thinker…
- Take Cornell notes on the following:
1. Their nationality
2. What they wrote
3. Their thoughts on State of Nature
4. Their thoughts on Social Contract
5. Their thoughts on Government
6. Other main ideas they contributed
Thomas Hobbes
- English
- Wrote The Leviathan
State of Nature
- State of nature: before government there were no
laws or anyone to enforce them, so government was
necessary
- All individuals were naturally equal; people were
wicked and quick to fight
- Every person is free to do the necessary in order to
survive
Social Contract
- People agreed to give up their rights and give
absolute power to a sovereign
- It was the sovereign’s job to make/enforce laws
- He believed social contract was an agreement
between the people, not between the people and
the king
Thoughts on Government
- Government headed by a sovereign was the best
- Believed in a strong central authority that should
have total power
Other Main Ideas
- Feared religion could become a source of civil war
- The people should listen to the king over the church
if an argument were to arise
John Locke
- English
- Wrote Two Treatises of
Government
State of Nature
- Agreed with Hobbes on the brutality of the state of
nature
- However, he believed inalienable rights of life,
liberty and property existed and could never be
taken away
- People could govern themselves because they have
reason
Social Contract
- Believed it was an agreement between the people
and the king
- If a sovereign violated peoples’ natural rights, the
contract was broken and people could revolt
Purpose of Government
- Favored a representative government such as
English Parliament
- Only wanted men of property and business men to
be involved in government
Other Main Ideas
- Natural rights of the people limited the power of the
king
Montesquieu
- French nobleman
- Wrote The Spirit of Laws
State of Nature
- Believed individuals were so fearful that they
avoided violence and war
- Need for food caused humans to associate with
each other and live in a peaceful society
Social Contract
- State of war among individuals and nations led to
human laws and government
Purpose of Government
- Main purpose of government is to maintain law and
order, political liberty and the property of the
individual
- Opposed absolute monarchy and favored English
system as the best model of government
Other Main Ideas
- Developed the theory of separation of powers
- Each branch would have powers (checks) over the
other branches
- This idea became the basis for the United States
Constitution
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
- Genevan philosopher
- Wrote The Social Contract
State of Nature
- Man was naturally good and was corrupted by
society
- Savages in a state of nature were free, equal,
peaceful and happy; when people began to claim
ownership of property, inequality, murder and war
was the result
Social Contract
- Meant to alleviate the problems that society has
created for us
- Man should never be forced to give up their natural
rights to a king, but instead give them up to the
whole community
Purpose of Government
- Believed in a direct democracy on a small scale
- Everyone voted to express their opinions and make
the laws of the land
Other Main Ideas
- All political power must reside with the people
- Argued that there can be no separation of powers; the
laws must represent the general will of the people
- Believed religion divided and weakened the state
