Explanation:

The Enlightenment was an intellectual movement that emphasized reason, individual liberty, and the separation of powers.

The Constitutional Convention was an event where the US Constitution was created (using Enlightenment ideas), the Boston Massacre was a pre - Revolutionary War incident, and the French Revolution was influenced by Enlightenment ideas (not the origin of popularizing them for the US).
