Explanation:
Anabaptists, were a christian grouped who had origins that can be traced back to the sixteenth century. They were of the belief that anyone who professes to be a christian must make a conscious decision to follow Christ. As a result of that, they rejected infant baptism. Anyone who converted to their religion would have to be baptized again even if they had been baptized before as infants.
Their system of belief was based on the teachings of Christ's Sermon on the Mount. So, they did not swear oaths, engage in war or even participate in politics.
The leaders of the American Revolution, who became the Founding Fathers, were heavy readers of Enlightenment literature, which convinced them to focus on reason instead of divine order.
