The political embodiment of the vision of John Locke was expressed in the creation of the United States.This is the Classical Liberalism of the enlightenment.This historical trend really started with the magna carta and culminated in the US constitution and the Bill of rights.The European right is more influenced by the French revolution which was more collectivist in nature and lead to the dictatorship of Napolean and caused untold misery for the rest of Europe.Where on political map would we put Napolean?
