The Age of Reason—God’s special gift to humanity is REASON
The American struggle for independence was justified largely by appeals to rationalist
principles. The Declaration of Independence bases its arguments on rationalist assumptions
about the relations between people,
God, and natural law.

The Rationalist’s Worldview
1. People arrive at truth by using reasoning.
3. God created the universe but does not interfere in its workings. (clock)
2. The world operates according to God’s rules, and through the use of reason we can discover those rules.
4. People are basically good and perfectible.
5. Since God wants people to be happy, they worship God best by helping and understanding others.
6. Human history is marked by progress toward a more perfect existence.

Revolutionary Influences
John Locke: 17c philosopher• Advocated government with the consent of
the governed• Proponent of government checks and
balances• Revolution is not only a right, but an
obligation in some circumstances• All adults were equal, and none had the right
to "harm another in his life, health, liberty or possessions."

Revolutionary Influences
• The power of the king (or any government) is derived from the people, who contract to obey their rulers in exchange for law and security.
• Individuals have a natural right to hold property, and this can never be taken from them without their own consent.
• If a ruler infringes the terms of the contract that empowers him or seizes property without consent, the people can resist and depose him.
