How Did The Enlightenment Came Revolution
With the Enlightenment came revolution. In the 17th and 18th century, one would end up questioning nature, society, philosophy and government. Within the curiosity of reason would eventually come freedom. Freedom of speech, religion, and other different liberties would all in hope be granted by a revolution. Throughout the Enlightenment, some people believed and argued that the people themselves could control government. The want for self-government led to revolts against monarchies and absolutism in both America and France. However, these revolutions ended ironically with freedom being taken away from minorities. The general idea for freedom for all was disregarded from the Enlightenment when drafting declarations in both America and France.
