A. Thomas Hobbes.

Explanation:

The ideas of Hobbes, an English philosopher of the Enlightenment, about the natural rights of men such as the rights to life, to be free, to the pursuit of happiness and the notion that men are born equal, are reflected in the Declaration of Independence of 1776. Its main author is Thomas Jefferson, who was well acquainted with those ideas.
