The Declaration Of Independence reflected Enlightenment ideas by allowing the 13 colonies to have natural rights and separate the 3 branches of government and not being under full control of Britain.

The Enlightenment was impacted by 2 englishmen one of them being Baron Montesquieu which acted on separation of powers and John Locke which acted on natural rights Life, Liberty, and Property.
