Explanation:

The Enlightenment was a mainly European cultural and intellectual movement born in the middle of the 18th century and lasted until the first years of the 19th century. It was especially active in France, England, and Germany, inspired profound cultural, political, and social changes, and one of the most dramatic of these changes was the French Revolution. It was named in this way for its declared purpose of dissipating the darkness of the ignorance of humanity through the lights of knowledge and reason. The eighteenth-century is known, for this reason, as the Age of Enlightenment and the settlement of faith in progress. The Enlightenment did not seek to justify the divine right of kings, instead, it questioned the absolute power of monarchs and supported liberal ideas associated with modern democracy and republicanism.
