D. Both create governments featuring separation of powers.
Answer:
C. Both reflect ideas of Enlightenment thinkers.
Explanation:
The statement that accurately describes a similarity between the U.S. Constitution and the Declaration of Independence is option C because they both reflect the idea of enlightened thinkers.
The Declaration of Independence is a historical document that contains evidence of America officially separating from Great Britain.
The document contains the unhappiness at the government and the need for independence.
This document and the US Constitution did not set up any type of government which renders the other options as false.
Enlightened thinkers like Locke and Hobbes helped influence these two historical documents.

The history of the 13 American colonies that would become the first 13 states of the United States dates to 1492 when Christopher Columbus discovered what he thought was a New World, but was really North America, which along with its indigenous population and culture, had been there all along.
Spanish Conquistadors and Portuguese explorers soon used the continent as a base for expanding their nations’ global empires. France and the Dutch Republic joined in by exploring and colonizing northern regions of North America.
England moved to stake its claim in 1497 when explorer John Cabot, sailing under the British flag, landed on the east coast of what is now America.
Twelve years after sending Cabot on a second but fatal voyage to America King Henry VII died, leaving the throne to his son, King Henry VIII. Henry VIII had more interest in marrying and executing wives and warring with France than in global expansion. Following the deaths of Henry VIII and his frail son Edward, Queen Mary I took over and spent most of her days executing Protestants. With the death of “Bloody Mary,” Queen Elizabeth I ushered in the English golden age, fulfilling the promise of the entire Tudor royal dynasty.
Under Elizabeth I, England began to profit from transatlantic trade, and after defeating the Spanish Armada expanded its global influence. In 1584, Elizabeth I commissioned Sir Walter Raleigh to sail towards Newfoundland where he founded the colonies of Virginia and Roanoke, the so-called “Lost Colony.” While these early settlements did little to establish England as a global empire, they set the stage for Elizabeth’s successor, King James I.
Hatshepsut was a woman, daughter of Pharaoh Thutmose I. She was married to her step brother Thutmose II, and thus became the queen of Egypt when she was about twelve. Hattshepsut was the longest ruling Pharaoh female, who ruled Egypt, about twenty years in the fifteenth century BC. One of her greatest achievements was the expansion of ancient Egypt's trade routes. Thus Egypt was supplied with gold, wood, ivory, and resin.
