john locke and his theology
his work formed the basis of the united states constitution and many other modern democratic countries. it also was derived from new sociological and psycological studies of the day wich locke actually made advancements in. he believed humanity was good natured but required some maintenance out of a general amnesty. hence the applliance of a chacks and balnces system within his ideal government model. he also did not believe that a country should be headed by some body personified as a father ruling over a subserviant family due to the negative connotations.
