The ideas of locke and rousseau are found most easily in which of these documents?
a)the declaration of independence
b)the communist manifesto
c)the gettysburg address
d)the united nation's charter

The correct answer is A. The Declaration of Independence

Explanation:

Jean-Jacques Rousseau and John Locke were both philosophers that had a great influence on the end of the monarchy during the French Revolution and the Declaration of Independence in the U.S. that ended the control of Great Britain over the colonies. This can be explained as Rousseau supported the idea the power and political decisions belong to the people. On the other hand, Locke explained individuals should be equal in a state and if necessary individuals should lead a revolution to achieve freedom, independence, and equality. Therefore, the ideas of both philosophers inspired the Declaration of Independence and can be found in The Declaration of Independence directly or indirectly.
