The correct answer is D) the belief in the power and rights of the individual.

A similarity between how the Enlightenment and the Great Awakening influenced the US government is "the belief in the power and rights of the individual."

During the Enlightenment period in Europe, many thinkers and philosophers developed new ideas about government and questioned the authority of the monarchies. Some of those philosophers and thinkers were Montesquiou, Jean-Kaques Rosseau, Thomas Hobbes, John Locke, and Voltaire. Their ideas really influenced the founding fathers of the United States, as well as the concepts conveyed by famous Protestant preachers during the Great Awakening, about the belief in the power and rights of the individual.
