INTRODUCTION PARAGRAPH (175–250 wоrds) Befоre аnаlyzing these texts in depth, use yоur introduction to orient your reаder. Your paragraph should: Briefly situate the Enlightenment as an 18th-century intellectual movement — what did it value, and what was it reacting against? Name your two primary sources: Kant's "What is Enlightenment?" (1784) and the US Declaration of Independence (1776) Explain the historical link between them: how did Enlightenment thinking shape the revolutionary generation (Jefferson, Franklin, and others)? Close with a thesis stating: (1) how you currently understand Kant's concept of Enlightenment, (2) your initial sense of whether the Declaration reflects that concept of becoming "enlightened" or "mature," and (3) a brief signal that you'll look at both the Declaration's stated ideals and (later) their real-world application. Do not yet analyze how these rights were applied historically or in the present — save that for Part 2. Right now, show that you understand the core ideas.
