Which is an enlightenment idea that Jefferson used in the declaration of independence?

The idea that all people are created equal. This idea is expressed in the Declaration of Independence in the phrase "all men are created equal." This idea was a radical one at the time, as it challenged the traditional belief that some people were naturally superior to others. Jefferson's use of this idea in the Declaration of Independence helped to lay the foundation for the American Revolution and for the creation of a more democratic society.
