Answer 1

The correct response is:

Montesquieu’s ideas about separation of power are included.

The U.S. Constitution reflects the Enlightenment idea of separation of powers, as it establishes three distinct branches of government: the legislative, executive, and judicial branches, each with separate powers and responsibilities.

Hobbes's ideas about natural rights and Voltaire's ideas about property are not directly included in the Constitution, and while the concept of "no taxation without representation" was significant during the American Revolution, it is not explicitly articulated in the Constitution itself in the same way.
