Scientific Revolution contribute to the Enlightenment?

1 answer:

8 0

The Scientific Revolution questioned superstition and traditional beliefs that had not been investigated. The Enlightenment championed this approach to knowledge, emphasizing the use of reason in all matters, in contrast to following superstition or unquestioningly accepting traditional beliefs.

The Scientific Revolution showed that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large. Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society. For many Enlightenment thinkers, this included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved. This led to changes of approach to how society should be governed -- moving away from ideas like the "divine right of kings" to the establishment of more democratic, constitutional societies.

The correct answer is " Citizens would be able to form governments that ensure their interests."

The idea of a social contract involves citizens of a country giving up some of their individual liberties (aka freedoms) so that the government can make society safer. Hobbes argued that this social contract, despite the fact that it limits individual freedoms, will benefit citizens because they have the opportunity to pick their leaders who will make laws based around their wants/needs.
