Answer:

A) John Locke

Step-by-step explanation:

ohn Locke was an Enlightenment philosopher that defended the theory of natural rights and self-governance, his thoughts influenced Thomas Jefferson which he showed clearly on the Declaration of Independence when he says that people are entitled to natural rights such as life, liberty, and property and that the government has the duty of protecting those rights, and when this government fails to do so, the people have to right to rebel and form a new government.
