Enlightenment
Enter a world of treaties, cabinets, salons, catacombs, revolts, experiments, and constitutions testing whether order could be redesigned.
1648 CE - 1789 CE
The Enlightenment tests new ideas about sovereignty, reason, public authority, reform, and constitutional government in courts, assemblies, prisons, and streets.
The route highlights Westphalia, Peter the Great's embassy, Parisian institutions, and constitutional debate. These are achievements in diplomacy, statecraft, science, and political design.
Executions, censorship, smuggling networks, prison reform, constitutional assemblies, and buried urban spaces place Enlightenment ideas inside the legal and coercive systems they challenged.
