some rulers censored, or limited the printing of, certain enlightenment texts. in france, several enlightenment writings were declared to be illegal.

Explanation:

• When traders can travel easily and carry texts, it helps in distributing the ideas (Enlightenment ideas) to a wider area. So, it's easier to spread.
• If more people can read and have an interest in new ideas, they can consume and share Enlightenment - related content. Thus, it's easier to spread.
• High - cost of books limits the number of people who can access Enlightenment texts. Fewer people having access means harder to spread.
• Censorship by rulers restricts the availability of Enlightenment texts. Restricted availability makes it harder to spread the ideas.
