Can someone help me with this I don’t know what to write During the Enlightenment, the idea of individuals being supremely important was first put forth. Today everybody believes in individual rights, yet the government keeps trying to tell you how to live your life. What do you want the government to do for you? What rights are most important to you?

“The Enlightenment” has been regarded as a turning point in the intellectual history of the West. The principles of religious tolerance, optimism about human progress and a demand for rational debate are often thought to be a powerful legacy of the ideas of Locke, Newton, Voltaire and Diderot.
