Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence. He was advised by John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. Thomas Jefferson was inspired by the Virginia Declaration of Rights written by George Mason and Thomas Ludwell Lee.
One way in which the Texas Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Declaration of Independence mirror each other is that they both contain a set of grievances. Another similarity is that they both contain statements on the nature of government.
Yes. The most obvious one is France, which underwent a revolution of its own against its own king and queen over a ten year period, from 1789 to 1799. During that period, France went from an absolute monarchy to a republic. In 1789 the French National Constituent Assembly used the Declaration of Independence as a guide to drafting its own "Declaration of Rights of Man and of the Citizen." Thomas Jefferson even helped write it while he was in France. The Assembly first wanted to make clear the rights that citizens had prior to writing a formal constitution. As a sidelight, one point made in the Declaration of Rights of Man was a condemnation of the notion of the "divine right of kings." This was a philosophy that Thomas Paine had written about in "Common Sense", which greatly influenced the French people.

Both were inspired by ideas popularized during the Enlightenment.
The Declaration of Independence was inspired by Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, who introduced the concept of natural rights and the idea that governments should be based on the consent of the governed. Other influences include the writings of Thomas Paine and the experiences of the American colonists as they sought to break free from British rule.
The American Revolution was most inspired by the ideas of the Enlightenment, such as individual liberty, natural rights, and the role of government to protect these rights. The revolution aimed to establish a government based on these principles, as reflected in documents like the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.
