Hello,

Instilling a belief in natural rights of man

Step-by-step explanation:

The Enlightenment values were reasons, science, progress, liberty and toleration.They explained the mindset of the enlightenment thinkers.The United States government is established in ideas that the government should practice some restrictions to achieve the protection of peoples rights and liberty.These are ideas of limited government that focus on natural rights, social contract, sovereignty of the people and support to a republican system of government. The policies try to come up with ways of safeguarding the natural rights of people without giving the government excess powers over the people.If natural rights is one's rights to life, liberty and property,then government intervention with policies to safeguard some of these rights is contradicting the Enlightenment definition of natural rights.

Best of Luck.
