The Enlightenment fostered a spirit of rationalism and encouraged individuals to question traditional authority, emphasizing reason, scientific inquiry, and individual rights. In contrast, the Great Awakening revitalized religious fervor, promoting emotional expressions of faith and personal spiritual experiences.

This blend of rational thought and spiritual awakening laid the groundwork for modern democratic ideals and individual empowerment.
