<u>The main contributions of those Enlightment thinkers were the following:</u>

  • John Locke was among the first ones who developed the <u>social contract theory.</u> He also claimed for <u>natural rights:</u> "life, liberty, and property.
  • Jean-Jacques Rousseau introduced the concept of <u>social contract.</u> it established that citizens were the ones who held power legitimately, and these should grant it to representatives elected through suffrage, that would conform the goverments. This viewpoint sharply contrasted with the absolute monarchies that ruled in most European countries.
  • Isaac Newton is a very representative figure of the <u>scientific revolution</u> during the age of Reason. He developed the laws of motion and universal gravitation, and afterwards the theory of relativity.  
  • Baron the Montesquieu: introduced the concept of the <u>separation of powers</u> in three branches: legislative, executive and judicial. It constituted a mechanism to preserve democracy in the sense that it prevented the emergence of any form of authoritarism, as each of the powers should supervise the other two.
  • Cotton Mather: was a puritan leader from New England. He promoted the <u>use of vaccines</u> for illness prevention.

   Isaac Newton: Discovered laws of gravity and motion that showed the natural world wasn’t controlled by spirits

   Baron de Montesquieu: Power should not be concentrated in the hands of one individual

   Cotton Mather: Advocated the use of science to immunize citizens against smallpox

When massachusetts refused to renounce the letter written by samuel adams and james otis in 1768, great britain responded by?
kap26 [50]
The letter signed by Samuel Adams caused very negative reactions in the British, which increased tensions between the British Parliament and Massachusetts, who not to give up what the letter said, led the British Empire to decide the occupation of the city of Boston by the British Army. This fact, in turn, and given the repressive forms of reaction of the British, was a fact that rushed and provoked the American Revolution. It should be noted that in the letter, it was expressed at the end that the settlers were still subjects of His Majesty and that only expressed with anguish their problems.
