Summarize the political philosophy of john locke

One of the greatest British empiricists, Locke claimed that knowledge came from experience, both from external sources, in sensations, and from internal sources, through reflections.

He explained that before we perceive anything, the mind is like a blank sheet of paper, but once we start to perceive everything around it, "simple sensory ideas" arise.

These sensations are worked on by thought, knowledge, belief and doubt, resulting in what Locke called "reflection". The mind is not a mere passive receiver. It classifies and processes all sensations as it forms our knowledge and personality.

Locke defended intellectual freedom and tolerance. It was a precursor to many liberal ideas, which only flourished during the French Enlightenment in the 17th century. Locke criticized the theory of divine right of kings, formulated by the philosopher Thomas Hobbes.

For Locke, sovereignty does not lie in the state, but in the population. He claimed that, to ensure a rule of law, the representatives of the people had to enact the laws and the king or the government to enforce them.

He was the first to present the principle of the division of the three powers, according to which the power of the state is divided between different institutions.

The Legislative Power, or Parliament, the Judiciary Power, or the Court, and the Executive Power, or the Government.

i think that the answer is polishing peanuts

native american contribution: the patriots from britain learn how to hunt, fish, and introduce diversity within cultures.

african americans: indirectly introduced the idea of diversity to americans. africans coming to america because of slavery taught white americans that people come from different backgrounds and colors. it also built america's economic stability for a great period of time. 

women: make america what it is today. there are some societies that are in the world currently that do not give women the same right we give women here in the united states. because women have rights here in the united states, other countries' citizens strive to come to america, especially women, since they have equal rights in the united states. this is important because america is seen and desired by many in the world. 

children: children are our future. we learn from our elders and carry out things the same or differently learning from america's history. we continue tradition and change tradition if it is needed.
