The enlightenment ideas came from many different philosophers one of which was john Locke. He believed that people needed government to protect their natural rights to life, liberty and property, but he also believed that self government was possible and if the government failed to protect these natural rights, citizens were allowed to rebel. Britain was not governing the American colonies in this way by deciding on many different taxes and laws that were against the colonists rights. The main leaders and others heard of these enlightenment ideas and decided to do something about it = American revolution.
Thomas Jefferson, the voice of the American Revolution, embraced John Locke's ideas about every man's right to life, liberty, and property.

The Enlightenment ideas, such as individual rights, democracy, and religious tolerance, influenced the colonies by inspiring revolutionary thinking and challenging traditional authority. This led to movements for independence and self-governance in the colonies, ultimately resulting in the American Revolution and the formation of the United States.
It shaped the thinking of future Revolutionary leaders in regards to the "rights of man."
