Which answer choice BEST summarizes how the Enlightenment changed over time? A) The Enlightenment began when small groups and secret societies began having meetings to share their beliefs with one another. Then these ideas began to spread after the publication of Voltaire’s "Philosophical Dictionary" and Diderot’s "Encyclopédie." Finally, its ideas were stamped out by church and government leaders who worried about the unrest they were causing.

B) The Enlightenment preceded a number of other important philosophical movements of the 18th and 19th centuries. Then its ideas were reintroduced as a reaction to the emotional individuality of the Romanticism embraced by many French and American writers.

there were more weaknesses than strengths under the articles of confederation. the lack of power given to the continental congress strangled the federal government. the articles gave congress the power to pass laws but no power to enforce those laws. if a state did not support a federal law, that state could simply ignore it. congress had no power to levy taxes or regulate trade. without a federal court system or executive leader, there would be no way to enforce these laws, either. amending the articles of confederation would also require a unanimous decision, which would be extremely difficult.
