Explanation:

The heroes and fathers of Latin American independence were acquainted with the ideas of Enlightenment. They had read Rousseau, Voltaire and other notorious 18th-century writers. They closely followed the French Revolution and found great inspiration in its lofty ideals, in the Declaration of the Rights of Man. Some of them even went to Europe to study and there, they joined the French army to fight in the Napoleonic Wars, motivated by a belief in the ideas of the revolution. Another source of inspiration was the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the USA, the fight of North Americans to be free from British rule.
