Freedoms. We have tons of them, but how would you feel if you had none of them. No media. No democracy. Just one man in charge of everything. This is how the french lived for most of their history. Then people decided not to live that way any more. One of the first documents made during the revolution was the Declaration of the rights of man. The declaration of the rights of man laid out freedoms that everyone has such as the right to be equal to one another. This document would not have been created if it wasn’t for the enlightenment. The enlightenment brought about new ways of thinking that were not always in line with the thought process of the monarch. This is why they included that everyone was equal and limited the power of the monarchs.
