My Impact on Society

I left an a big influence on the political side of the world. My ideas of people being selfish and my thoughts on the role of the government led to more changes. After the Revolution, my ideas also influenced federalists with arguments that adopted the Constitution. Everyone is equal in my eyes and nobody contains more power than the other (besides the king of course). People cannot survive without a strong central government to protect them. I got tons of smart people studying my work today, so I guess you can say i'm pretty important. Questions that I stated back when I was alive are still being discussed today as well because i challenged the relationship between science and religion and limitations the government should have. Even though my ideas might have seen real cray back then, i'm considered to be on of the most important political thinkers know to man!

  1. Again brilliant way to out your success in words, thankfully you don't rant like I do so its much easier to read, and your philosophy is very similar to mine in that all people are made equal. (I don't agree about the King though)
