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.

To correctly understand the phenomenom of the Enlightenment we must resort to its fundamentals sources of inspiration.

- The philosophy of Descartes - " Based on methodical doubt to admit only clear and obvious trhuts".

- And the scientific revolution. Supported by simple general laws of a physical nature.

The enlightened thought that these laws could be discovered by the Cartesian method and applied universally to the government and human societies.

That is why the elite of this era felt a great desire to learn and to teach what they had learned.

What were the Knights of Labor and the American Federation of Labor?
ch4aika [34]

The KoL was an organization founded by Uriah Stephens in 1869. It accepted skilled and unskilled workers, women, and people of any race, unlike many other labor unions. They fought for eight-hour workdays and equal pay for women.

The AFL was a labor union that only allowed skilled workers to enter, so no women or people of other races. It was founded by Samuel Gompers in 1881, and it focused on getting better working conditions for the working class. They used collective bargaining to gain higher wages and shorter workdays.

What happened along the United States-Canadian border during the Embargo Act of 1807?
soldi70 [24.7K]
Smuggling--The Embargo Act completely restricted US trade and the New Englanders could trade easily with Great Britain through Canada. 

The Embargo Act was put into place during the Napoleonic Wars between Britain and France. Great Britain was taking over US ships and forcing citizens to fight for the British army/navy. Jefferson responded with an embargo to force Britain to stop through economic means. However smuggling made the embargo ineffective as well as a lack of support from NE Federalists. <span />
