Join Wendy on AP History Help Episode 47 as we dive deep into The Enlightenment, the intellectual movement that revolutionized the 18th century and beyond! This episode is a must-listen for AP World, AP European History, and AP U.S. History students, connecting the dots from John Locke's natural rights and Voltaire's free speech to Rousseau's social contract and Montesquieu's separation of powers. Discover how these radical Enlightenment ideas fueled the American Revolution, the French Revolution, and the Haitian Revolution, fundamentally reshaping governments and inspiring global independence movements. Learn about unique ways ideas spread through salons and coffeehouses and stick around for a bonus segment linking Enlightenment principles to modern debates on free speech and social media. Unlock the blueprint of modern democracy and see how history continues to impact today!
