3. Lives of the Majority Change Slowly It wasn’t until the late 1700s that Enlightenment ideas spread through Europe’s peasant classes. Initially in France, these ideas, in combination with war and economic troubles, would bring the masses to revolt. This process would come much later in central and eastern Europe. 3 of 6 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Section 2: Enlightenment Ideas Spread, pp 550-556 Witness History Audio: Milan’s La Scala (not available outside of class) PP. 556: What can you conclude about opera from these pictures?

8. The English Colonies in the Mid-1700s In Britain’s American colonies, economic life was booming by 1750. Although Britain tried to regulate trade and other aspects of life in the colonies, there was a sense of semi-independence on the part of the colonists, who tried to control their own affairs. 2 of 10 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Section 3: Birth of the American Republic Geography Interactive: The Colonies That Became the United States

9. Colonists Express Discontent When King George III imposed taxes on the colonies to help pay for their own defense, the colonists rebelled. Tensions escalated and finally broke out into war. Inspired by Enlightenment ideas about the natural rights of man and the right to revolt against an unjust government, the Second Continental Congress declared independence from Britain. 3 of 10 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Section 3: Birth of the American Republic Witness History Audio: The Declaration of Independence (not available outside of class) Where did the ideas included in this passage originate?

10. The American Revolution Continues With their passion, with their knowledge of the countryside, and with help from France, the Netherlands, and Spain, the colonists defeated the British. The Treaty of Paris ended the war and recognized the independent United States of America. 4 of 10 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Section 3: Birth of the American Republic Witness History Video: The Enlightenment and the American Revolution (not available outside of class)

11. A New Constitution When the Articles of Confederation proved too weak to establish effective government, some of the nation’s leaders drafted the Constitution based on Enlightenment ideas of Locke, Montesquieu, and Rousseau. The new government would recognize some basic rights of the people and establish three branches of government to create checks and balances. This document served as a model for constitutions created by other countries. 5 of 10 The Enlightenment and the American Revolution Section 3: Birth of the American Republic Color Transparency 104: Enlightenment Thinkers History Interactive: Roots of American Democracy QuickTake Section Quiz Progress Monitoring Transparency QuickTake Chapter Test (Use link at right outside of class)
