The period known as the Age of Enlightenment culminated in the American and French revolutions while paving the way towards the formation of societies that would safeguard the following key elements:

-natural rights (inalienable rights possessed by every individual in society)

-separation of powers in government

-separation of church and state

-freedom of speech

-freedom of conscience

-freedom of religion

Above all, the crucial concepts of reason and logic were vital in bringing about these changes in society. A strong drive towards individual liberty necessitated the creation of a constitutional government in preference to an absolute monarchy, and religious dogma was questioned, particularly from the Roman Catholic Church.

In what ways has the Enlightenment impacted our lives and our society? (specifically in terms of modern Western civilization) Discuss other places in the world that have yet to adopt some or all of these freedoms?
