Passage1
TheEnlightenment,apivotalmovementinEuropeanintellectualhistory,championedthe useofreason,scientificinquiry,andindividualliberty.ThinkerssuchasVoltaire,Locke, andRousseau [1] had promoted the idea that rationality and progress were intertwined, suggestingthateducationandfreethoughtcouldliftsocietytonewheights.Theseideals [2] was influential in shaping modern democracies,inspiringrevolutionsandnewformsof government.However,criticsarguedthatblindfaithinreason [3] ignored the complexities of human nature.TheRomanticmovement,inresponse,emphasizedemotion,intuition,and themysteriesofexistence.RomanticsbelievedthattheEnlightenment’srationalideals [4] were too mechanical and dehumanizing,neglectingthesoulandimagination.
Inliterature,theRomanticeraintroducedcharactersthatweredrivenbyemotionandpersonalconflictratherthanlogic.MaryShelley’s“Frankenstein,”forexample,illustratesthe dangerofscientificambition [5] that is unchecked by ethical responsibility.Romanticism’s emphasisonnatureandindividuality [6] stands in contrast withtheEnlightenment’semphasisonorderanduniversality.WhilesomesawtheEnlightenmentasliberating,otherssaw itasconfining.Thisongoingdebate [7] illustrates how every intellectual movement provoke bothadmirationandresistance.Asmodernthinkerscontinuetograpplewithreasonand emotion,thelegacyofbothEnlightenmentandRomanticism [8] remains to have an impact.

Passage4
InancientAthens,citizenshipwaslimitedtofreeadultmalesbornofAthenianparents, [31] which was only a small portionofthecity’spopulation.Politicalparticipationwasbotha rightandaduty, [32] with citizens expectedtovote,debate,andholdpublicoffice.This levelofengagement [33] contrasts with many modern democracies,wherevotingturnoutis oftenlow.
TheAtheniandemocracyfunctionedthroughasystemcalleddirectdemocracy, [34] in which all citizens participatedinlegislativedecision-makingratherthanelectingrepresentatives. Whilethismodelhasitsadmirers,criticsargueit [35] is being impracticalforlargeordiverse societies.
Despitetheselimitations,Atheniandemocracy [36] laid important groundworkformodern civicideals.Conceptssuchastrialbyjury,civicduty,andruleoflaw [37] were established in Athens and are reflected in later governments.Nevertheless,theexclusionofwomen,slaves, andforeigners [38] highlights the tensionsbetweendemocraticidealsandsocialrealities.
Today,scholars [39] continue debatingwhetherAthensshouldbepraisedforitsinnovation orcriticizedforitsexclusions. [40] However, the system remains foundationalinpolitical theoryanddemocraticthought.
