As Europeans saw their world expanding, both figuratively and literally, as a result of the Renaissance, Reformation, and Age of Exploration, they began to find new ways of explaining and understanding the natural world they thought they knew.

Following on the heels of new thought about art, government, religion and the physical shape and content of their world, many people turned their attention to the more immediate spaces around them, and inside them. New ideas about everyday life and about the human body began to challenge commonly held beliefs and assumptions, and began to place some of the most ambitious thinkers in conflict with the established authorities of the time.

These new philosophers made use of the scientific method to challenge what many around them took for granted. By doing so, they ushered in an era of change which echoed far beyond the immediate areas of their investigations. The scientific revolution and the age of enlightenment opened up new doors for the human mind to pass through.

And one direction the human mind took these new ideas was in the world of politics, power, and government. We focus our study on three revolutions that took different, and surprising, routes to creating governments that embraced the new ideas of the Enlightenment.
