The Declaration of Independence is in fact connected to the Enlightenment movement which swept through western civilization beginning in the 17th century. With its emphasis upon reason, and choice, and the collective intent of free people in association, the Declaration is a clear expression of fundamental Enlightenment ideals and values.
