Explanation:

John Locke was an English influential philosopher and thought leader of the Enlightenment.  He is generally considered the father of liberalism. Together with Isaac Newton and David Hume, he is the main proponent of British empiricism. Furthermore, he is next to Thomas Hobbes and Jean-Jacques Rousseau one of the most important contract theorists in the early Age of Enlightenment.   His political philosophy influenced the Declaration of Independence of the United States, the Constitution of the United States, the Constitution of revolutionary France and, through this, most of the constitutions of liberal states.
