Answer:

-ideas from the enlightenment are shared across the ocean in pamphlets, books, and newspapers

-ideas that human political and social arrangements could be improved through human action led to attacks on the conventional way of life

-new ideas of of liberty, equality, free trade, republicanism, religious tolerance, and human rationality also attacked conventionalism and helped ignite revolutions

-these ideas were often controversial .
