Here’s MY example of a famous enlightenment or scientific thinker, BUT you cannot use it. (Sorry!) Lady Godiva was a real enlightenment figure, who was a generous woman. When her husband, Leofric, Earl of Mercia, imposed heavy taxes on his subjects she protested these high taxes and stood up for the people until he decided to be more fair. She rode all through the town of Coventry encouraging people to stay home from work until the Earl reformed his tax edict. The legend that she rode naked and her long hair modestly covered her nudity is untrue, but makes for a great story. Her ideas that taxes should be fair, and people had the power to make decisions about their government, however, inspired European peasants to rise up for better treatment and more rights, transforming Europe into a fairer and more enlightened place.
Now it’s your turn! In a short paragraph, using full sentences, identify one PHILOSOPHER (great thinker) or ENLIGHTENMENT leader and explain HOW his/her idea(s) transformed Europe and WHY the reforms were important. (Remember to underline your two best vocabulary terms.)
