Which ways did enlightenment ideals affect the founding of the united states? check all of the boxes that apply. the support of a monarch was included in the declaration of independence. a. natural rights appeared in the declaration of independence. b. natural rights appeared in the bill of rights. c. separation of powers appeared in the constitution. d. a social contract appeared in the declaration of independence. e. support of the colonial government was included in the declaration of independence.

The correct answers should be a. Natural rights appeared in the Declaration of Independence; c. Separation of powers appeared in the Constitution; d. A social contract appeared in the Declaration of Independence; and e. Support of the colonial government was included in the Declaration of Independence.


The natural rights appear as unalienable rights in the constitution as Locke defined them, while the separation of powers exist to prevent any branch from becoming tyrannical. Social contract and a support for a colonial government did appear because the governments should exist and derive their power from the consent of the governed.
