Answer:
The Kansas-Nebraska Act, issued on May 30, 1854 created the territories of Kansas and Nebraska, repealing the Missouri Compromise, and allowing immigrants settled in these territories to decide whether or not to introduce slavery on them.
The text stated that the pioneers would be able to vote to decide whether or not to introduce slavery, in the name of "popular sovereignty". Unsurprisingly, opponents of slavery denounced the law, viewing it as a concession to the slave power of the South. The new Republican Party, which was created in opposition to this law, set itself the goal of stopping the expansion of slavery and quickly became the dominant force in all the northern states.
The result was a series of violence and murders called Bleeding Kansas between 1854 and 1861, pitting pro and anti-slavery settlers in the new Kansas Territory, and revealing itself as the origin of the Civil War.

Before the Enlightenment governments of Europe were primarily Divine Right Monarchies, which means that the King was "selected by God and was God's spokesperson on Earth." In other words, to disobey or disagree with the king was to disagree with God. Not surprisingly, there was no division between Church and State (each country had an official "state" religion), no checks and balances, no separation of powers, no freedom of speech, and commoners had no rights. On the other hand, the nobility had many rights.
The Enlightenment thinkers argued against these traditions, and called for individual freedoms, governments of the people, and religious freedom. They were "enlightened" because they believed that humans could answer questions for themselves, and sought ways to put this philosophy into practice.
So, in comparison, governments after the Enlightenment (which led to the Age of Revolutions) tended to end noble privileges, create constitutional monarchies (limiting the king's powers) with separation of powers, and checks and balances, and called for freedom of speech and freedom of religion.
