The Enlightenment was for new ways of people to come up with many ideas. John Locke an english philosopher and an enlightenment thinker, he had many ideas. His idea influenced people like Thomas Jefferson to write the declaration of independence. On july 4 we celebrate a special day for our independence's.
The declaration of independence is an example of an enlightenment, it's written by a group of people from america which they were also enlightenment thinkers. It's about civil rights in America. To be free and have happiness. This change the way people think in America, for example it gave people the right to vote and every man was equal.
