Enlightenment ideals that influenced the Founding Fathers of the United States include popular sovereignty and the fundamental rights of all human beings. These can be seen in the U.S. Constitution.

The first idea is the declaration of independence, which gave equality and freedom of speech.

The second idea is the Constitution, which created three veto provinces that were based on the people's sovereignty.
