Answer: D- All men are free and created equal

Explanation: The enlightenment ideal that helped fueled the French revolution was based on principles of liberty equality and fraternity. It was based on the ideas of John Locke who said that all men are born with natural rights to live and also right to own properties. It showed people that they shouldn't just believe the things they were told. Which resulted to people especially the rich ones deciding they wanted more freedom and influence. Then it all resulted to the French revolution
