Explain one way in which enlightenment thinkers in britain and america were similar in the period 1750-1900.

B) The Americans and Britains were similar in enlightenment thinking because they both believe in Deism meaning that they believe in science not in theory such as the bible or religion.

C) One way America was different from Britain in enlightenment think was Britain believe that humanity could be improved through rational change but America believed in Thomas Jefferson using  “unalienable rights” from John Locke. right to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness

Explanation:

social contract theory basically says that all individuals are born equal, and provided a god given right to consent to be governed. american government is based of this

thomas hobbes and john locke said that we are selfish, individualistic, and constantly at war with each other, therefore we need to be controlled. 

government is defined as the legitimate use of force to control human behavior within territorial boundaries, here comes in hobbes and locke.

hobbes takes the part about controlling human behavior. while locke takes the part of legitimate use of force, since force is not legitimate unless there is consent of the people. 

there are basically 3 goals of the government: 1) maintain order by protecting life and property. 2) providing public goods, those which are typically not provided by the public sector, such as roads and education. 3) promote equality be it political, opportunist or outcome equality.
