Question: In the paper, define Enlightenment in the way in which Kant uses the term and discuss how this idea fits with the US Declaration of Independence In particular, address the following:

What is meant by Enlightenment and how can a society achieve it, according to Kant?
What are unalienable rights and how do they relate to the period of the Enlightenment?
Do you believe (use evidence to back an opinion) that the US Declaration of Independence represents what Kant later means by becoming enlightened and "mature"? Explain.
In the Declaration, who is guaranteed freedom? Is this guarantee kept after the Revolutionary War?

In your paper, be sure to include at minimum six (6) specific references to both primary texts - Kant's "What is Enlightenment?" and the US Declaration of Independence. This means you must either directly quote passages from both, or paraphrase them. In either case you will need to include citations. As part of the essay , you may provide a brief summary of these works (no more than ½ a page in length - imagine that your reader is already familiar with the works)
