Shut up and let me go

I think that there are many things to think about when you think of enlightenment. Some of those things may be what you think of morals, people, ethics, and every day rights. Every one today in America has the right to be free because of the people that perused for enlightenment. When I think of enlightenment, I think of the people that wanted to be free. Like Thomas Jefferson, he wanted a better place for every body so he helped make the country grow as a nation and make it a better place to live and work. But its not only him that helped, it’s also the people like Locke, who helped. They spread there ideas so that the common person could have more rights and so every one could do the things that they wanted to do. So it could be free nation.So when they were writing the constitution, I think of all the people before who tried for enlightenment, they could only read or write about it but could not live in a world of it. We are vary privileged that our founding fathers know that this was best for our country and that this is what the people needed.
