The constitution of US drew on many enlightment ideas. From Montesquieu, it put in effect the separation of powers into three branches of government. Therefore, each braches had their own power and abusing of power got prevented.

The Framers of the US Constitution drew upon the works of John Locke and Montesquieu. Additionally, the US Framers also drew upon the English Puritan revolution of the 1640's. In a manner of speaking, the US became the first "republic" since ancient Rome was a semi- republic.
The framers of the US Constitution were influenced by Enlightenment thinkers such as John Locke, who espoused ideas about natural rights and limited government. They also drew from Judeo-Christian beliefs regarding concepts like moral law and the inherent value of individuals. These influences helped shape the principles of individual liberty, equality, and separation of powers that are reflected in the Constitution.
John Locke was the English philosopher who heavily influenced the framers of the American Constitution with his ideas of natural rights, social contract theory, and limited government. His works, such as the "Two Treatises of Government," were instrumental in shaping the principles of individual freedoms and the rule of law in the American legal system.

No, but...why would they? The US Constitution governs the United States, NOT other countries. Each country has the right to govern themselves. You might be confusing the US Constitution with the United Nations (UN) resolutions against human rights violations? The USConstitution with the United Nations (UN) resolutions are completely different and separate from each other. It is true that many governments have referred to the US Constitution when crafting their own documents, but in doing so they are implicitly referring to other documents.The US and Egypt both drew heavily from even older documents and writings in crafting the documents establishing their form of government. Each nation has tailored their government to their local values; for example I would expect that Egypt would refer to the Koran. I doubt the authors of the US Constitution did so.
