The Enlightenment influenced men such as Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson. Rationalist literature was very popular. Genre: argumentative and persuasive essays, speeches, pamphlets, formal documents, etc. Believed knowledge/truth could be reached through science and reason Believed in deism and humanitarianism Believed in natural laws of the universe and the natural rights of man
