Ahh the the Age of Reason.
Many of the United States' Founding Fathers were also majorly influenced by Enlightenment-era ideas, particularly in the religious sphere (deism) and, in parallel with liberalism (which had a major influence on its Bill of Rights, in parallel with the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen), socialism and anarchism in the political sphere.

The enlightenment was too late for most colonists (Jamestown; Plymouth, that kind of thing). I think you're talking about American Revolutionary thinkers-- the Founding Fathers referred to earlier.
Not a criticism, but make sure you define your terms/ use the right ones.
