The revolutions that happened in Europe had marked a significant point throughout the human history which the Industrial Revolution accelerated the development of modernizing economy environment that everything is fast-forwarded by the machines.  On the other hand, French Revolution, was a period of time that more and more people got a chance to express their ideas freely during a social and political upheaval. It was a time that inspired people to encourage people to seek for individual rights. Enlightenment was meant to awake those lost and limited freedom. Despite Edmund Burke shares the same idea with Shelley that tradition should be inheritable, he has a different view from Shelley about the measure of freedom. They both agrees that enlightenment was one way that helps people retrieve what is been losing since the world has been changing over time. It was a time that rebuilds the sentiment that was lost under the pressure of the society. People ought to fight for their freedom, the spirit of believing in individual rights, by reason. Rational is a power that pushes people to look forward to the truth. In a sense that Shelley claims that “poet are the unacknowledged legislators of the world” which they help inspire and guide people into a right way of thinking. Shelley thinks that freedom is ought to be equally if people question the authority while Burke believes that freedom is still limited by some sort of status.
