The crafters of the United States constitution wanted a system of government wherein the people had a voice in their ruling but at the same time, the crafters were worried that the people would rule like a mob without checks and that the majority would persecute the minorities in the country.
Both the Federalists and the Anti-Federalists agreed that there were dangers inherent in the system, which is why the crafters created a system with checks and balances on the lawmaking process and a bicameral legislature with a body, the US Senate, whose job is to ensure that cooler heads always prevail.
This shows the influence of thinkers like Edmund Burke, a British philosopher, who advocated for incremental change.
The cost of this is that things do move slowly and sometimes the legislatures misses the ball. The response to this has been a stronger Executive branch with the power to create temporary executive orders but the process is still slow.

The 13 colonies of America issued a Declaration of Independence and passed a Constitution that were constructed around many ideals of the Enlightenment, incorporating the ideas of personal liberty, right to life, pursuit of happinness as natural rights of men. The best fruit of the Revolutionary War is the birth of the United States, a successful democratic republic.
The French Revolution proclaimed the Rights of Man and was also inspired by the lofty ideals of Enlightenment. It was radical, having overthrown and beheaded a king, an astonishing event in a monarchy-dominated Europe. However, the revolution in France led to chaos, power abuses abd revolutionary terror. The revolution ended in 1799, when Napoleon Bonaparte took power. A few years later, he crowned himself as emperor.
