How did the enlightenment affect societies during the 17th and 18th centuries​
PLEASE HURRY

The correct answer is B

Explanation:

Before the Enlightenment, people were very accepting of traditional society, that was based on a religious order that determined the social structure of three estates or castes: the clergy, the nobles, and the commoners, this last category including both the merchants, the artisans, and the peasantry.

During and after the Enlightenment, the ideas of thinkers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, and Hume, led many people to challenge those traditional ideas, and to seek for alternatives. The French Revolution, that caused the dissolution of the Ancient Regime, could be considered the most important manifestation of these ideas in Europe, while the American Revolution would represent the same in the Americas.

states

explanation:

as the old saying goes, all politics are local. state and federal governments affect our daily lives in numerous ways. yet, in our federal system, there is supposed to be a balance between federal and state power. as james madison envisioned it in federalist no. 51, “the power surrendered by the people” would be “divided between two distinct governments,” creating a balance of power that would enable the “different governments [to] control each other.”
