The Enlightenment 18th century movement where many thinkers developed ideas of rights and freedom. It was during this time that the founders of our country took these ideas and developed a constitution.

Enlightenment thinkers contributions to the United States Baron De Montesquieu: A separation of political powers ensured freedom and liberty. John Locke’s concept of natural rights became the basis for the first 10 amendments.
