The correct answer to this open question is the following,

As no options were provided, we can say that the United States founding documented that most clearly shows John Locke’s influence on the founding fathers is the Declaration of Independence. The quote would be: "We hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness."

Those terms were valued by John Locke, a great thinker of the Enlightened times. He believed in the natural rights of men and in the social contract, a necessary relationship between citizens and the state, to have stability in a society.
