Question

What philosophies, thinkers, and documents most influenced the writers of the United States Constitution?

This is really important, I need to write a 4 page essay on this. I just need help getting started (though someone writing it for me is much needed, I really need a good grade on this)

Answer 1

The philosophies of enlightenment did this the most. You should look at writers and philosophers such as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau. They were political philosophers who preached the idea of a social contract and republicanism in which the people choose the government and fight against oppressive and tyrannical governments who try to obstruct their natural and self-evident rights. Look them up for your essay and you'll get an excellent mark.
