The Declaration of Independence serves as an effective tool in advocating for independence and self-governance because it articulates the fundamental principles of individual rights and the legitimacy of revolt against oppressive rule. By clearly stating the colonies' grievances against British authority, it unifies citizens around a common cause and provides a moral justification for their struggle. Additionally, its powerful rhetoric inspires and mobilizes support, both domestically and internationally, by framing the quest for independence as a universal pursuit of liberty and justice.
A careful reading of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution clearly show a tone of solemnity and telltale merging of two metaphysical concepts, that of God (The Great Spirit) and freedom and individualism, so peculiar and unique to the Iroquois and later the proponents of the Revolutionary War. The tone and philosophical underpinnings of the founders
When Thomas Jefferson said that all men are created equal, he probably meant, all white, land-owning men are created equal. He clearly did not support the equality of people of African descent (even though, ironically, this quote from the Declaration of Independence was later used very effectively to support the concept of racial equality).

The United States Declaration of Independence and the French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen are two documents that clearly reflect the influence of Enlightenment thinkers.

The Enlightenment was a revolution in the way humans thought. It brought about a way of thinking that focused on clearly-stated principles and uses logic to arrive at conclusions. It then tests the conclusions against the evidence.
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.
