The correct answer to this open question is the following.
In the period from 1450-1750 new ideas such as individualism, freedom, and self—determination rose out of the Enlightenment. All these new and deep ideas of the Enlightenment changed thinking in Europe around politics, society, or the economy, and not only of Europe, but beyond.
The Enlightenment was a time in which great thinkers and philosophers shared new information about forms of government and citizens' rights. These ideas came from brilliant minds that influenced many European governments. We are talking about John Locke, Voltaire, Jean-Jaques Rosseau, and Baron of Montesquiou.
From these author's minds born ideas such as having a division of government in an executive branch, a legislative branch, and a judicial branch, as was the case of the ideas of Baron of Montesquiou.
These political and social ideals influenced independent movements such as the Revolutionary War, the French Revolution, and the Independence of México.
