Voltaire, Hobbes, and Jefferson.

Bolívar was inspired by Enlightenment and revolutionary ideas — especially those of the French Enlightenment and the American Revolution (Jefferson) — and sought to bring liberty, republican government, and separation of powers to Spanish America. The other choices (the pope, Napoleon, or classical philosophers Aristotle/Plato) don’t match the intellectual sources that guided him.
