Answer:

Liberty meant freedom of religion, freedom of the press, and freedom from unreasonable government (torture, Censorship, and so on). Enlighenment writers, such as Voltaire, Montesquieu, and Rousseau's, influenced ordinary readers, politicians, and even heads of state all over the western world.
