The correct answer is "John Locke's social contract theory."

The principles of government and the development of self-government that Thomas Jefferson included in the Declaration of Independence were most influenced by John Locke's social contract theory.

Enlightenment philosopher and thinker John Locke wrote "Two Treatises of Government" in 1689. In that document, he referred to the concept of "social contract" and also referred to basic natural human rights such as life, liberty, and prosperity.

These ideas directly influenced Thomas Jefferson when writing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. But it also influenced the other four framers of the Declaration: Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, Jhon Adams, and Robert Livingston.
