The movement helped create the intellectual framework for the American and French Revolutions and led to the rise of classical liberalism and modern capitalism.…

    Of the basic assumptions and beliefs common to philosophers and intellectuals of this period, perhaps the most important was an abiding faith in the power of human reason. The age was enormously impressed by Isaac Newton's discovery of universal gravitation. If humanity could so unlock the laws of the universe, God's own laws, why could it not also discover the laws underlying all of nature and society? People came to assume that through a judicious use of reason, an unending progress would be possible-progress in knowledge, in technical achievement, and even in moral values. Following the philosophy of Locke, the 18th-century writers believed that knowledge is not innate, but comes only from experience and observation guided by reason. Through proper education, humanity itself could be altered, its nature changed for…

    Britain's constitutional monarchy developed over a long period of time. Until the end of the seventeenth century, British monarchs had the right to make and pass legislation. Over time, the powers of the monarch were limited, both by laws enacted by Parliament and by changing political practices and customs. In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the day-to-day exercise of political power was gradually taken over by Parliament, the Prime Minister and the cabinet eventually developing into a modern constitutional monarchy. It is a form of government in which an elected or hereditary monarch acts as Head of State. Unlike an absolute monarchy, where the king or queen is the sole source of power, in a constitutional monarchy the monarch's power is limited and shared with other parts of the government. People say that nowadays the power of the monarch in the modern British system is mostly symbolic and ceremonial, summed up by the saying, "the Queen reigns but she does not rule." In other words, as a constitutional monarch, the Queen plays an important role in the government, but does not have any real power. She cannot make or pass legislation and must remain politically neutral. As Head of State, Elizabeth II performs many official duties but almost always acts on the advice of her elected ministers.…

    Anglia ishte e para nga monarkitë evropiane, e cila në kushtet e një refomimi të gjithëanshëm kaloi gradualisht nga absolutizmi mbretëror, i mbështetur me forcë nga katolicizmi, në bashkëqeverisjen e vendit mes Parlamentit dhe mbretit, një zbatim i plotë i koncepteve humaniste të bartura dhe tek reformacioni protestant. Megjithatë një kalim i tillë e kishte origjinën në ngjarje, të cilat u zhvilluan në një periudhë më të largët në kohë, atëherë kur Henri I i Anglisë më 1100 dhe kur Baronët dhe fisnikët e tjerë më 1215 detyruan Xhonin Pa Tokë të nën shkruante Magna Carta Libertatum për tu bërë e plotë më 1225 dhe më pas më 1297.…
