The Enlightment had a lot of ideas. Separation of powers was created by Baron de Montesquieu he was a French noble. Separation of powers were the three branches of government then it was The Monarch, The Parliment, and The Court of Laws. Now it's the Excutive Branch, the Legislative Branch, and the Judicial Branch. He created our judicial government.

Women's rights was brought to attention then as Mary Wollstonecraft. She told the Enlightment thinkers that women's views were just as important as the men's views. She declared women should have equal rights in education, economics and politics. In the 1920's women fought for there rights. The U.S. Constitution granted American women the right to vote, known as women suffrage.

Reading was very important during the Enlightment days. Now we have places just for reading known as the Library.
