Enlightenment Ideas

Enlightenment thinkers, writing mostly in the 1600s and 1700s, argued that people are born with natural rights, like life, liberty, and property, and that a government's power should come from the consent of the people it governs, not from a king's claimed authority. One especially influential idea, from the philosopher Montesquieu, was that government power works better when it is divided among separate branches instead of concentrated in one place, an idea the framers of the U.S. Constitution built directly into its own structure.
