○ all us citizens possess certain natural rights.
○ religion is completely separate from government.

Baron de Montesquieu's core Enlightenment idea was the separation of governmental powers into distinct branches to prevent tyranny. This concept directly influenced the structure of the US government. The other options relate to other Enlightenment thinkers (natural rights to Locke, separation of church and state to various Enlightenment figures, voting rights to democratic ideals not Montesquieu's key focus).
