Which of the following is not considered a cause of the enlightenment? increased availability of printed books the scientific revolution decline in the education system the renaissance

The correct answer is C) decline in the education system.

The statement that is not considered a cause of Enlightenment is the decline in the education system.  

The Enlightenment was an important period in the history of humankind (1685-1815), where thinkers in Europe questioned the principles of authority and the monarchy in order to open a new form of thinking. Also named the “Age of Reason”, the Enlightenment thinkers consider that humanity was able to progress using rational thinking. The ideas that appeared during this time influenced other countries and Independence movements such as the French Revolution and the American Revolution.  

Part of the Enlightenment was that more books were printed an were available, the surge of the scientific revolution, and the Renaissance. But what is not considered a cause of Enlightenment is the decline in the education system.
