Today we still use many great ideas from powerful thinkers. One of the thinkers is Montequieu who thought it was unfair to all that only one person decided the laws and rules of how the country ran. Montequieu suggested that there should be many different branches of goverment to make decisions. Here in 2009, we have 3 different branches for the goverment. Another great thinker is Diderot since he is the one that invinted a great book called the Encyclopedia which had 28 volumes.The Encyclopedia explains ideas of various topics. Today, there are many new resources that have been invinted. The internet is one resource which is a more faster and sufficent way to get accurate information. Although, students, teachers and many others use Encyclopedia's to get information for all different types of research. Next there was Smith, which thought that the goverment should not be involved with any business affairs. The only thing that the goverment was involoved in was the health issues that may follow a new product. This still continues to day in many places of work such as : shoe departments, clothing departments, and even resturants. Lastly, Locke had the great idea that all people have natural rights. Natural rights include life, property and liberty. When someone is born they all have freedom, freedom of speech, the property they own can not just be taken from underneath them, and the way someone chooses to live their lives is their own business unless it is breaking a law of some sort.
