The correct answer is option 4: Natural Rights. The Declaration of American Independence was influenced by the theory of natural rights, which suggests that certain rights are inherent to all human beings and are not granted by any government or authority. These rights include the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The founding fathers of the United States believed that these natural rights were universal and should be protected by government. This influenced the drafting of the Declaration of Independence, which asserted that all individuals have these natural rights and that a government`s purpose is to secure and protect them. This idea of natural rights was deeply rooted in Enlightenment philosophy and had a significant impact on the development of democracy and human rights around the world.
