Need help to see if this statement is true or false

Question

the declaration of independence & the US constitution were influenced by the john locke and the principals of the magma carts afted the french revolution

Answer 1

This statement is true.

The Declaration of Independence was inspired heavily by Enlightenment philosophers, including John Locke, who emphasized the importance of reason and individualism, as well as ideals of liberty, progress, and rights. Locke identified three "natural" rights: life, liberty, and property. The Declaration of Independence supported this view, but changed it slightly to support the "inalienable rights" of "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness".

The U.S. Constitution was influenced by the Magna Carta, which was passed in the year 1215 in England. The document was meant to curtail the absolute power of the English monarch; however, over time, it became a symbol for the Enlightenment ideals of liberty and freedom from tyrants. Thus, the Magna Carta had a strong influence on the U.S. Constitution, especially its emphasis on rights to a fair trial, and from unjust government intervention into individuals' lives.

One thing I'd add is that the French Revolution occurred AFTER the American Revolution - in fact, it was greatly inspired by the American colonists' revolt against monarchical control.
