Explanation:

European Enlightenment philosophers (like Locke, Montesquieu) advocated for limited government, rule of law, and constitutional frameworks to protect individual rights. U.S. founders drew on these ideas to develop constitutionalism, which structures government power and protects liberties. The other options are incorrect: founders valued individual thought, rejected monarch-led strong central governments, and aimed to create laws for the general public good, not just elected interests.
