The enlightenment

• A period of time in Europe (18th century), sometimes called the “Age of Reason,” when people discussed ideas on science, law, religion, education, and government. People began to question authority and discuss ways they could change society for the better. They took a greater interest in nature and our place in the world.

These ideas would influence our

founding fathers and guide them in the

forming of our constitution.

*Preachers like Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield preach to colonists about questioning authority and thinking for themselves. *This leads them to believe that it is possible to rule themselves. They don’t need to look to a higher power (like the king).

There should be no class system: All men are created equal

man is born good, but corrupted by society

Government should serve the people

“Every man having been born free and master of himself, no one else may under any pretext whatever subject him without his consent. To assert that the son of a slave is born a slave is to

assert that he is not born a man.”

Jean-Jacques Rousseau
