Hey everyone! Today we continued to debate some controversial topics from the Enlightenment. The philosophes that we discussed had a huge impact on the world. These ideas are going to alter politics in Asia and Europe. Also, the ideas are going to influence various revolutions such as the American, French, and Latin American Revolutions. Lastly, the Enlightenment is going to persuade some that all people in the world should have equal rights. Women's rights, abolition, and the abolition of serfdom are going to begin to be a focus in the 18th and 19th centuries.
For homework, you are to read the four primary source documents that I handed out: the Declaration of Independence, a diagram of our checks and balance system, the MA petition, and a letter from Mary Wollstonecraft. Please read the documents and write one paragraph for each document explaining how the Enlightenment influenced the views represented. There should be a total of four paragraphs when you are finished.
Please email me if you have any questions. Have a great weekend!

P.S.- Your next test is going to be on Wednesday, November 30. Please begin to study!
