Scholars decided what was true or false by referring to an ancient Greek or Roman author or to the Bible
People believed earth was the center of the universe (the geocentric theory) & everything moved around it
Searching for new or better answers led to many scientific, technological, & mathematical (algebra, trigonometry, geometry) advances
Telescope & microscope helped advance scientific findings while the printing press made these new ideas spread quickly
Religion was once the #1 answer to everything… Science will now take its place!

9. The Enlightenment
People sought new insight into “the underlying beliefs regarding government, religion, economics, and education” p. 629
Two English political thinkers became popular, but for quite different views and beliefs on human nature & government

10. Thomas Hobbes wrote Leviathan in 1651
believed all humans were naturally selfish & wicked
without government humans would always be at war & life would be “solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short”
social contract: people create government (give up individual rights to a ruler/leader)
also believed that ruler needed absolute power to maintain order & keep citizens under control

11. Does this sound familiar?
John Locke
believed people are blank slates & are molded by experiences from their surroundings; can learn from them
opposed absolute monarchies & believed in self-government
All people were born free & equal with 3 natural rights:
Life, Liberty, & Property
The purpose of government is to protect these rights
If a government fails to protect these rights, the people have the right to overthrow it
believed power comes from the people
Does this sound familiar?

12. The Enlightenment Voltaire: Montesquieu:
criticized the clergy, aristocracy, & government in his writings
fought for tolerance, reason, religious freedom, & freedom of speech
Montesquieu:
studied political liberty
believed in the separation of powers (different branches of government like in England at the time)
believed in checks & balances in power
His ideals became the basis for our Declaration & Constitution!

13. The Enlightenment Jean Jacques Rousseau: Mary Wollstonecraft:
committed to protecting individual freedom
believed civilization corrupted people’s natural goodness
believed the only good government was one that was freely formed by the people & guided by the “general will” of society (Hrmmmm… also sounds familiar)
wrote a book called The Social Contract about an agreement among free individuals to create a society and a government
Mary Wollstonecraft:
argued women, like men, need education to become virtuous & useful
equality for women especially in education
