//**Accomplishments **//

Some of my achievements include my two major pieces of writing: ~ An Essay Concerning Human Understanding - Which is about the theories of ideas and knowledge. - It was published in December 1689. ~The Two Treatises of Civil Government - This is about the rights of individuals and an answer to the political problems in England. - It gave the United States some of their ideas for their constitution. - It also lead to the modern ideas of democracy. - This piece was published in February 1690.

I also influence other people as well as philosophers. I inspired the French philosopher Voltaire and even motivate Thomas Paine and his ideas about revolution, not to mention influencing Thomas Jeffersonand John Adams. Even Benjamin Franklin used my writings to help educate himself. My ideas of Natural Rights were even used in the Constitution of the United States of America (like i stated above).
