Many of the constitution’s framers had studied the works of enlightenment writers. explain how enlightenment thinkers john locke and baron de montesquieu influenced the ideas in the united states constitution.

When the Constitution was framed, the ideas of Locke and Montesquieu heavily influenced its contents.

John Locke primarily dealt with the rights of human beings and their freedoms. He stated that the sole duty of government was to protect the natural rights of its citizens; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. This idea is clearly seen in the Preamble; "...and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity...", which is a translation of Locke's idea.

Baron de Montesquieu on the other hand created ideas that were key to developing a balanced government, primarily the separation of powers. This is a fundamental part of our union, keeping the whole government in balance, making sure no one branch becomes more powerful than the other.

congress also has implied powers, which derive from the necessary and proper clause of the constitution and permit congress "to make all laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into execution the foregoing powers, and all other powers vested by this constitution in the government of the united states.
