The correct answer is D) it encouraged support for ideals like freedom of religion and criticized institutions like slavery.

Enlightenment works like the Encyclopédie influenced politics and society in that it encouraged support for ideals like freedom of religion and criticized institutions like slavery.

The Enlightenment was considered the "Age of Reason." Thinkers along Europe questioned traditional beliefs and supported the idea that humans could grow even more through the use of the reason. That is why the Enlightenment produced many philosophers, thinkers, and scientists that changed the way people view things in life. They encouraged free thinking and the use of reason over religious beliefs.
