Basics of the Enlightenment
• Humans could better themselves without the assistance of religion or the divine providence of a ruler.
• The meaning of life would be discovered by the application of reason and natural science.
• Laws should be based on the ideas of scientific inquiry.
• If people could choose, they would choose liberty.

The Heirs of Locke• Montesquieu, a French aristocrat,
writes The Spirit of Laws where he champions freedom and condemns slavery as “unnatural”
• He also describes a constitutional monarchy in which the three branches (legislative, executive, and judicial) are free and independent of one another, creating a system of checks and balances (influencedthe U.S. Constitution)
• In writing the American Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson (1743-1826) uses Locke’s ideas that the governed have the right to revolt if their ruler is unjust and that life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness are inalienable rights
Montesquieu (1689-1755)
