"<em><u>These thinkers valued reason, science, religious tolerance, and what they called “natural rights”</u></em>—life, liberty, and property. Enlightenment philosophers John Locke, Charles Montesquieu, and Jean-Jacques Rousseau all developed theories of government in which some or even all the people would govern."
"The Enlightenment was influenced by reason because it was a time of optimism and possibility. People started to study human nature and society. What new views did philosophers have about government? These rulers inspired further rulers, and people began to believe that human reason could solve any problem."
"Montesquieu believed in the separation of power with checks and balances. Checks and balances are put in place to ensure that no one branch of government has too much power."
"Other enlightenment thinkers have influence on the US constitution. Volitaire's ideas are used. Volitaire believed in religious freedom which is practiced in the US today."

Spanish–American War took place in the year of 1898 between Spain and United States of America. The Spanish-American war was started due to the explosive attack on the battleship USS Maine in Havana Harbor. The war went on for four months and came to an end after signing the Treaty of Paris.
The government of Spain and America signed this "<u>Treaty of Paris"</u> and made Cuba independent from Spain. America got the territories in the western Pacific and Latin America. So they expanded the foreign trade.
