The Enlightenment promoted ideas of individual rights, reason, and equality, challenging the traditional privileges and authority of the aristocracy. These ideas threatened the aristocracy's power by promoting social change, questioning inherited privilege, and advocating for democratic reforms that would limit their control over society.
Aristotle believed that monarchy and aristocracy became dangerous when rulers in these systems began to prioritize their own interests over the common good of the society. He warned that when rulers became corrupt or tyrannical, the stability and well-being of the state were at risk.
Enlightenment ideas emphasized principles such as liberty, equality, and fraternity, which influenced the French population to question the authority of the monarchy and aristocracy. Enlightenment philosophers criticized the existing power structures and fueled a desire for political and social change, ultimately contributing to the revolutionary mood in France that led to the French Revolution in 1789.
Censorship was an impact of the Enlightenment because Voltaire, who was a philosophe during the Enlightenment, created the ideas of Freedom of Expression and Freedom of Religion. Because of these ideas, the European monarchs later reduced censorship and persecution.
The name for the group pride birthed from Enlightenment reasoning is called "Enlightenment humanism" or "Enlightenment rationalism."
Edmund BurkeÕs Reflections on the Revolution in France is considered to be the first major statement of conservatism. Burke argued that there was a sanctity about private property and that it was only natural to have a landed aristocracy. Without the landed aristocracy, Burke thought there was chaos as was shown in the French Revolution.
