The enlightenment. Enlightenment philosophers like John Locke and baron de Montesquieu influenced the US constitution with Locke’s idea of a government’s goal being to protect the natural rights (life liberty and property) of its people and Montesquieu calling for a separation of powers with different branches of government.
