My idea for a midterm question would be to choose two of the documents we read and compare and contrast them, as well as answer the question of how these two documents connect to the theme of Enlightenment.
Enlightenment is the central theme we always come back to in class. The documents, such as the Declaration of Sentiments, show the people’s struggles to be able to gain the freedom to be enlightened and free. There are many similarities in each of the documents so there is plenty to compare, and since they were each written for a different audience, there are plenty differences. By allowing the freedoms that came with the documents, enlightenment became possible.
