Answer: John Locke

Explanation: The majority of academics currently agree that Thomas Jefferson derived many of the most well-known concepts from the English philosopher John Locke. While James II's government was being overthrown in England in 1689 during the Glorious Revolution, Locke penned his Second Treatise on Government.
