Question

Which concept found in the u.s constitution was not inspired by the enlightenment?

Answer 1

HUMANE PUNISHMENT is the correct answer.

Enlightenment philosophers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Charles Montesquieu, John Locke and Thomas Hobbes developed theories regarding the government. They had a considerable impact on French and American history and the democratic government that took place with the American and French revolutions. Jonh Locke favored freedom of speech and election of representatives. Montesquieu spoke out for the separation of powers (legislative, judicial, and executive powers) in order to prevent despotism from taking place.
