The Period of Enlightenment in Prussia

The influences of philosophers and political scientists such as Condorcet resulted in a new form of government called constitutionalism. Many rulers, such as Frederick II of Prussia, began to change along with the ideas introduced by the Enlightenment. Eventually, the new ideas behind the Enlightenment led to the fall of absolutism and the rise of constitutionalism. Frederick the II encouraged these advancements and supported the spread of Enlightened ideas in Prussia.
