## Step 1The question is asking about the philosophical movement from which both the Declaration of Independence and the Social Contract Theory arose. ## Step 2The Declaration of Independence is a document that was drafted in 1776, declaring the thirteen American colonies as independent states, free from British rule. This document is a reflection of the Enlightenment philosophy, which emphasizes reason, individualism, and the belief in progress.## Step 3The Social Contract Theory is a concept that suggests that people live together in society in accordance with an agreement that establishes moral and political rules of behavior. This theory is also a reflection of the Enlightenment philosophy.## Step 4The Enlightenment was a philosophical movement that took place primarily in Europe and, later, in North America, during the late 17th and 18th century. Its participants thought they were illuminating human intellect and culture after the "dark" Middle Ages.
