The Enlightenment is seen as one of the most influential time periods in history because of all the things that came out of it. For example, the Enlightenment is where Europe started looking at democracy instead of monarchy. The democratic ideas started by Enlightenment philosophers still survive today.
The Enlightenment also had an influence in what to do when people feel the government mistreats them: revolution. An example of a revolution was the American Revolution, which was started with, and was succeeded by new Enlightenment ideals. The way the Enlightenment suggested to govern was moved in after the revolutions during and after the Enlightenment. Many of those governments survive today.
