Explanation:

The U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence were influenced by Enlightenment ideas like natural rights, social - contract theory. The Declaration of Independence emphasizes natural rights of life, liberty and pursuit of happiness from Enlightenment thinkers. The Constitution incorporates ideas of limited government and separation of powers also rooted in Enlightenment thought. The Declaration doesn't limit government power or create a government with separation of powers, and it's not mainly about protecting citizens from government oppression.

Answer:

B. Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers.
