The Declaration of Independence states that if the a governess is too fail at pleasing the people they are governing they have the right to abolish it and place a new one that is better. That every person have the right of life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness, John lock also came up with these ideas for a goverment. That the people rule them selfs and not the government rule them. Every person has one vote to pick who they want to run the country. The government is separated into 3 parts Legislative branch, Executive branch, and the Judaical branch. All three are connected together, one branch is not more powerful than another. For a law to pass it has to pass through all 3. John came up with this beacuse he liked how the English had a Prime Minster, Parliament, and a judicial branch. When Thomas Jefferson wrote the Decoration of Independence he must of heared of the enlightenment thinkers and read about them before writing it. The funny think about it is that one of the greatest influential government ever was influenced by some toughs made up from a different person who doesn't really get the credit for it.
