3. J25 / A: In the century between Newton's Principia Mathematica (1687) and the French Revolution in 1789, the philosophers of the European Enlightenment used empirical research and scientific reasoning to study all aspects of life, including social institutions and human behavior. John Locke advanced the theory that political authority was not divinely ordained but rather sprang from social compacts people made to preserve their natural rights to life, liberty, and property. These ideas began to affect colonists' beliefs about science, religion, and politics.

Both movements prompted the separation of church and state. They differed in that the Enlightenment interrogated man's relationship to authority, while the Great Awakening questioned the importance of the church in man's relationship to God.
