He, the eldest of four sons, was born in Roxbury, Massachusetts in June, 1741 where his family had been living for half a century (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). He continued the tradition, living in Boston prior to the Revolution. Though his father, Joseph Warren, a farmer, died when Warren was just 14, he was raised thinking and feeling like a true American. This early exposure to American ideologies would influence and promote him later in life with his fight for freedom and to convince other colonists of the freedom they deserved.

    Judging from what I have read and seen off the videos shown to us for each philosopher, I believe that the biggest influence on the U.S constitution would have to be John Locke. He focused on the issues that to this day we are still concerned over which are; who should rule over us, how we should educate our children and what to do with those that have different religions from us. As mentioned, Locke had argued against Thomas Hobbes social contract so that people can have the right to over throw the ruler if the ruler acted like a tyrant. This became a big influence on the democratic revolution because to this day as we know it we still have a say in which ruler (president and government) we want to expel from giving us orders so long as we
