Answer: Limit the government from interfering with the rights of the people.
Step-by-step explanation:
The Enlightenment grew out of the realization that a lot of the things occurring in the world could be explained by science instead of religion and so the people began to shift more towards logic and reason instead of religion.
This also led to people questioning the absolute monarchies that existed at the time. Enlightenment writers questioned this type of government and noted that they did not do much for the people. These writers wanted to limit these governments from interfering with the rights of their people and so wrote text that rallied the people against their absolute rulers.
