Shaping America: The Revolutionary Ideals Behind US Politics
Explore how the Age of Enlightenment profoundly shaped the foundation of American democracy and the evolution of its political landscape. We’ll discuss the Enlightenment’s influence on pivotal documents like the US Declaration of Independence and France’s Declaration of the Rights of Man, embedding principles of liberty, equality and individual rights into governance. Discover how these ideas fueled revolutionary fervor, sparked the rise of America’s political parties, and laid the groundwork for a more inclusive political system. Join us on a journey from revolutionary ideals to the enduring institutions that continue to shape the American political ethos.
