Although these topics as vast, please allow some of my notes and research to depict how these two men influenced the Framers:
First, John Locke was pivotal in his influence. Please note how he impacted America in terms of personal liberty. To illustrate, "In Two Treatises on Government, Locke refuted the divine right of Monarchy, and established a theory where personal liberty could coexist with political order" (http://www.usconstitution.net/philosophers.html#locke).
