John Locke was an---- philosopher (thinker) that impacted the growth of--- in the colonies

Answer explanation

John Locke was a key figure in the Enlightenment, a period that emphasized reason and individualism. His ideas greatly influenced the growth of these concepts in the colonies. The option 'Enlightenment, Religion' fits the question as it correctly identifies Locke's philosophical alignment and the impact he had on the colonies. However, the term 'Religion' is not entirely accurate as Locke's influence was more on the growth of Enlightenment ideals rather than religion.
