The thinkers involved in the movement were interested in focusing on reasoning rather than blind faith and the establishment of an authoritative system no longer rooted in the religious ideals of the Roman Catholic Church.

The ascension of William III and Mary II led to a shift in England from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy. The change in political and religious thinking led to a period of religious tolerance, which paved the way for the Great Awakening. This religious restoration challenged the way people taught and gave them freedom to voice and act upon their views.…

As Enlightenment ideas emerged during the age of enlightenment right after the scientific revolution, new ideas were spreading around society that made the people of society truly question what reality was and wasn’t. This new age of enlightenment also came along with the age of reason where people were looking for ways to prove what was true and discredit what wasn’t through scientific or logical reasoning. In the end, as David Hume would see it, the French revolution would have betrayed the enlightenment ideals of the government’s role with society and the basic human rights that everyone should have. As the French revolution took place, the government depleted the country of its money and invested too much of their time within the citizens that Hume would believe that they were violating the basic enlightenment ideal of the way that the government should behave and run.…

Over the course of the scientific revolution many intellectual traditions changed and a few stayed the same. One change was the creation of the university system that allowed hastened development of intellectualism as they were allowed to operate individual from the government to an extent.

And as Wardekker puts it, human beings are meaning-givers (2004) – we attempt to define what is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ about our thoughts and actions, as well as what is ‘good’ or ‘bad’ of ourselves and others.

Revolutions occur due to political, social, and economic changes being sought after. The French Revolution of 1798 and the Chinese Communist Revolution of 1927 are examples of this.
