4. Discuss some of the major figures of American Enlightenment.

The American Enlightenment was a period of intellectual and cultural transformation in the 18th century that helped lay the foundation for the American Revolution and the establishment of a new nation. During this time, a number of prominent figures emerged who were instrumental in shaping the ideals and values that came to define American society. One of the most influential figures of the American Enlightenment was Benjamin 

Franklin, a polymath who is often referred to as the "First Citizen of the Republic." Franklin was a prolific writer, inventor, scientist, and statesman, and his contributions to American society were vast and varied. He is perhaps best known for his work as a printer and publisher, and his Poor Richard's Almanack was a popular source of practical advice and wisdom for many Americans. Franklin was also an important diplomat, serving as an envoy to France during the Revolutionary War and helping to secure critical support for the American cause.
