Enlightenment known as Age of Reason and enlightenment thinkers were John Locke, Montesquieu, Voltaire and Rousseau.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In late 18th century Enlightenment ideas spread in Latin America. Enlightenment taught them they can reason and have right to oppose. Success of American Revolution gave a lesson that they can throw off the foreign rule and on other side French Revolution showed them that they can overthrow an unjust monarch.
As these Revolutions were influenced by enlightenment thinkers and looking after their success Latin America arose as they wanted revolt because they felt they pay tax too much and other reason was social inequality.
Latin America connects to the enlightenment period because of the idea of sovereignty.
