Political philosophies shape the foundations of american government. many strongly believed that government should be in the hands of the governed. what is your philosophy? do you agree with the many who believe that government should be in the hand of the people or do you think having a king or queen is a better choice?

When the declaration of independence was made they basically tried to have philosopher of freedom in it like John Locke. He helped shape the ideas of freedom like he said divine rights ( the power of being a king or queen is given by god) he said that was incorrect that the people gave them the right to be king or queen. He thought that the people can over throw the king if they don't go through parliament and if the government becomes destructive. The government should get overthrown if ithe doesn't help with the people's needs.
