It allowed both the Enlightenment philosophes the freedom to express their ideas on the most important political, social, technological developments of the time and allowed any reader of any class, faith, gender, wealth, etc. the opportunity to obtain, read and analyze for themselves the validity of the Enlightenment ideals. It also meant that the common people had access to knowledge usually reserved for the upper classes and that they had the ability to expand their knowledge and participate in a part of society that again, was usually reserved for the upper classes.
