Answer:

Many ideas of Enlightenment reflected in the Declaration of Independence from John Locke ’s point of thinking. Locke believed that human nature allowed people to be selfish and we are born a blank slate. All people were equal in a natural state and independent, everyone had a natural right to defend “life, liberty, health, or possessions.”
