Though Thomas Jefferson did help fuel the revolution, John Locke fuels it with philosophical ideas. Therefore your answer is D. John Locke.

John Newton wasn't a person, Oliver Cromwell was a fighter, not a thinker, and Montesquieu was a little too far back. That leaves us with D. and E., which are your answers.
