Which concept was not an enlightenment idea that influenced the founders of the united states of america?

The correct answer to the question: Which concept was not an Enlightment idea that influenced the founders of the United States of America, would be, as per the answer choices provided in the comments section: Direct democracy.

Explanation:

This is one concept that not even one of the Founding Fathers of the United States even considered. To begin with, it must be remembered that the U.S was born from an alliance of states, unlike other countries, especially in South America, so there was a lot of independence from each of the states. Direct democracy demanded two things that the Founding Fathers did not consider. The first is that this type of democracy needed a strong central government, that would rule the fates of the nation, and would be elected by the people in a direct vote. The second was, direct democracy demanded that the people be the ones to directly elect, and have direct power over the deicisions that needed to be made. These two requirements were not acceptable to the Founding Fathers, so they did not consider direct democracy.
