The political and economic ways change the social order through a variety
of ways social order change through enlightenment in the government just did
with you additional rights requested by the population changed through slavery
practices being decreased. Through these together bring about the re-creation of
social class and order.

The governments all over the world begin to form what they are now
starting in 1750. Democracy became more relevant during this time. Document 2
shows this from the ideals of an enlightenment thinker. This thinker showed
people that the general public makes decisions, which is what a democracy is.
Governments began to accept other races into countries. This, in the US, started
with the 3/5 compromise. This compromise at least slightly considered slaves,
humans. Documents 3 is where the 3/5 rule is mentioned. Life in certain places
such as Paris, France changed for the better after the government lost the
monarch and begun to use the Enlightenment ideas.

Slavery started to decline around this time. This is shown in Document 1, a

graph of the slave ships from the slave trade. These graphs show how often
slavery occurred. There was a steady decline from nearly 9 million to just above 3
million slaves. Between 1750 and 1800 and 1800-1850 slavery began to be
eradicated through the government. Document 6 quotes the commitment
manifesto which states that class should be done away with. This world means a
government ending and banning slavery. In document 8, one could see a slave in
the Army seeing other slaves getting beaten.

Peoples rights were adjusted for the better. Women in particular came
across an influx of thought for getting rights. Document 4 pertains to one woman
struggles against men declaring that women have rights too. This shows the spark
in the minds of women to go out and get equal rights. Document 5 shows the
thoughts of the leader of the equal rights movement, Simon Bauer. He says that
their state of Rights were laughable. This is a call to action to go out and get rights
for all the people. Document 9 one of them are crossed. These show the state of
the minds of the people that control countries; they disregard the populars.
Women get credit for their attempts at rights as well is depicted in Document 10.

A document that could be of use or is missing is a graph of arrests in 1750

through 1919. This could be show how many women were arrested and show the

perspective of the people that arrested the women. It would be interesting to see
what the people who arrested the women were thinking at the time.

In conclusion, there were three main aspects that influence social order.
The government added Enlightenment ideas, slavery needed to be banned from
the US, and rights were fought for and granted to women and workers. These
aspects together show political and economic change of social order.
