History

Answer:

The ideas of the Enlightenment influenced American colonists like Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson because they read the works of Enlightenment thinkers and adopted similar views on politics and society. Political philosophers of the Enlightenment believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate in order to create the most beneficial conditions for society.  This included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    The Enlightenment ideal was that individual freedom and equal rights and opportunity for all would be promoted and protected.  Each individual's well-being (life, health, liberty, possessions) should be served by the way government and society are arranged.   The American founding fathers accepted these Enlightenment views and acted on them.

Further detail / example:

John Locke, in his Second Treatise on Civil Government (1690), had expressed the idea of natural rights in the words that follow.  Notice the similarities to what was later stated in the American colonists' <em>Declaration of Independence</em> (1776).

  • <em>The state of nature has a law of nature to govern it, which obliges every one: and reason, which is that law, teaches all mankind, who will but consult it, that being all equal and independent, no one ought to harm another in his life, health, liberty, or possessions… (and) when his own preservation comes not in competition, ought he, as much as he can, to preserve the rest of mankind, and may not, unless it be to do justice on an offender, take away, or impair the life, or what tends to the preservation of the life, the liberty, health, limb, or goods of another.</em>

How did Woodrow Wilson's Fourteen Points differ from the Paris Peace<br> Conference agreements?
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

The biggest difference between Wilson's Fourteen points and the Paris Peace Conference agreement was on how to deal with the war losses and the socio-economic future of Europe.

Explanation:

Woodrow Wilson did not talk about war repatriation or any 'revenge' upon an enemy nation. Instead he spoke about the rights of people, discussed free trade and an end to hostilities and also discussed the formation of a few borders, especially an Independent Polish State and the future of the Ottoman Empire.

This however, did not go down well with the European powers, who had bared the real cost of the war. The French industry had collapsed under German pressure and the country was looking for millions in repatriation costs.

The Russians were not happy with an Independent 'Polish' State and had their own claim to the region.

Eventually, the 14 points were rejected, which many claim, eventually led to the second world war.
