Enlightenment made the people to realize that they should have more independence and autonomy.
Explanation:
The enlightenment in the United States of America gave the ideas to the people living in that nation that they should have more autonomy in their hands.
The enlightenment gave them the ideas that the people of America should not be under the control and the authority of the British control anymore. They should get freedom from the authority of the British. Thus these ideas encouraged them for revolting for independence.
