• Limited Government:
– Government where the power of the leaders are
limited by contract or constitution.
• Unlimited Government:
– Government where the leaders have unlimited power.

• The success of the
Enlightenment was based
on the spread of ideas.

spread through books and

Salons were meetings for
intellectual discussions that
were often hosted by a
wealthy patron. They were
especially important to the
French Enlightenment.
What role did the Enlightenment play
in our country’s development?
• The Enlightenment gave
rise to the political ideals
that inspired the
American Declaration of
Independence. Its famous
statement of the right to
“life, liberty, and the
pursuit of happiness” was
adopted from the political
philosophy of John Locke.
What were causes of the American
Revolution?
• Causes of American Revolution:
– Conflict was created regarding the settlement of
colonial lands

– Church taught that all men were created equal, that there is
no divine right of kings and wicked law should not be
obeyed.
– Colonists wanted a say in their government
– Enlightenment thinkers believed in a social contract that
claimed the authority of the government should come from
the people. If the government abuses its responsibility the
people should rise up and overthrow their leaders.

Toussaint L’Ouverture and
his men were defeated by
the French at the Ravine
aux Couleuvres, as seen

L'Ouverture eventually
succeeded in leading the

Domingue in revolt
against the French. As a
result, the slaves were
freed, and the republic of
Haiti was created in 1804.
