The enlightenment had effects on, Education, Religion, and Women.

Education: The renaissance and the scientific revolution influenced education during the Enlightenment. For example, the study of classics subjects. This means that they studied Philosophy and literature. Application of reasoning to study. means applying a reason to their study. Publications by philosophers spread knowledge. Which means the creation of encyclopedias and the development of scientific institutions.

Religion: Enlightenment thinkers began to pursue secularism. They questioned the role of the church in government and the daily lives of individuals. They called on people to use reason to explain the world around them. They also were pretty fond of supporting freedom in religion. Enlightenment ideas influenced the framers of the Constitution of the United States. The First Amendment to the US Constitution calls for the freedom of religion and the separation of church and state. In “Notes of the State of Virginia” by Thomas Jefferson, it says “The rights of conscience we never submitted, we could not submit. We are answerable for them to our God. The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg . . . . Reason and free inquiry are the only effectual agents again error.

for the 2 countries u can do china and america because america has a democratic government while china has a communist government.

a democracy is a government run by the people either by directly voting or indirectly by electing representatives. an oligarchy is a government run by a few or a small group of people. a democracy and oligarchy are similar because both in an oligarchy and an indirect democracy, a small group of induvial determine the laws for a large group of people they are different because in an oligarchy it is easier to control and they do not have to answer to a large number of people in the country, unlike a democracy where they do have to answer to a large number of people an county that is a democracy would be the united states. a country that is an oligarchy would be the china.
