Explanation:

The Enlightenment emphasized natural rights, freedom of speech, right to vote, and limited government. A judge protecting a citizen's natural rights aligns with the idea that governments should protect natural rights. An election to choose a government leader reflects the right - to - vote and democratic principles of the Enlightenment. Forcing a citizen to practice a government - supported religion goes against the idea of religious freedom. A ruler having complete control of society is the opposite of limited government.
