Answer:
The correct answer is B
Explanation:
Before the Enlightenment, people were very accepting of traditional society, that was based on a religious order that determined the social structure of three estates or castes: the clergy, the nobles, and the commoners, this last category including both the merchants, the artisans, and the peasantry.
During and after the Enlightenment, the ideas of thinkers such as Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, Kant, and Hume, led many people to challenge those traditional ideas, and to seek for alternatives. The French Revolution, that caused the dissolution of the Ancient Regime, could be considered the most important manifestation of these ideas in Europe, while the American Revolution would represent the same in the Americas.
