Based on lecture notes and Chapter Four of The American Challenge, how did the Enlightenment change the attitudes of some English and North American elites towards religion and science? What major American figures were leaders of the Enlightenment? How did the spread of “print culture” allow the ideas of the Enlightenment to spread? How did the enlightenment fuel the spread of science, technology, and education in the 1700s? Who was excluded from the advances made through the Enlightenment?

Either the assignment or the alternate will be due in class March 13.
