Storyboard Text
- Glida: 1
- Okay class, we are going to be doing a school project. I am going to separate you all into groups and you have to come up with enlightenment ideas and have to debate on the best way to and why!
- Group 1 is: Locke, Rousseau, Voltaire, and DiderotGroup 2 is: Wollstonecraft, Adam Smith, Cesare Beccaria, and Baron de Montesquie
- Glida: 2
- John Locke: I’m a firm believer in natural rights, which I have defined as life, liberty, and property. The government's primary role is to protect these rights, and if it fails, people have the right to overthrow it.
- Denis Diderot: Well personally, I’m best known for my work on the Encyclopédie, a monumental compilation of knowledge that aimed to secularize learning and promote intellectual freedom. I believe this is the best.
- Jean-Jacques Rousseau: Well I believe in general will and believe in the inherent goodness of man. Society's institutions often corrupt this natural goodness.
- Voltaire: No no no, freedom of speech, religion, and separation of church and state is the way to go.

- Adam Smith:Well, I’m the father of modern economics, I’d like to introduce the concept of the "invisible hand" of the market. My work,"The Wealth of Nations" laid the foundations for free-market capitalism, emphasizing the importance of self-interest and competition in promoting economic prosperity.
- .
- Cesare Beccaria:: Well, my "On Crimes and Punishments" argued against torture and the death penalty, advocating for a more rational and humane justice system. I am emphasizing that the punishment should fit the crime and that the primary purpose of punishment should be deterrence.
- Baron de Montesquieu: Well what about the separation of powers, dividing government into separate branches (executive, legislative, and judicial) would prevent any one branch from becoming too powerful and thus protect political liberty.
- Mary Wollstonecraft: I don’t know about y’all, but women are not naturally inferior to men but appear to be only because they lack education. This isn’t cool.
