1689 was only 4 years into Enlightenment, and the collective recognition of "personal rights" that is most-often cited as the Enlightenments greatest achievement also just happens to be a fundamental aspect of 1789 Constitution - and ALL Constitutions moving forward.
THAT'S where the "V.1" honor comes from.
- brigandish 4y agoAside from it being utterly irrelevant when the Enlightenment started as to whether the Bill of Rights 1689 was a precursor to the 1789 ones, how does John Locke fit into that choice of start date for the Enlightenment?
