The Declaration of Independence is a document based on the beliefs of the founding fathers and was mostly written by Thomas Jefferson. Enlightenment? At that time, the colonists were pretty fed up with taxation without representation, had been influenced by the writings of Thomas Paine...in particular "Common Sense"....and were already involved in the American Revolutionary War. If you mean enlightenment ideas of one person in particular, the main man was definitely Thomas Jefferson....Virginia gentleman.
