How did the Era of Enlightenment effect the American Revolution?

Answer:
The Enlightenment Era, an intellectual movement based on reason, was the most influence to the American Revolution uproar. The Enlightenment thinker John Locke was by far the most efficacious in providing the Americans, who were still under the control of Great Britain this time, an insight of their own rights. Every person is supposedly born with the natural rights of life liberty and property. Locke said that if the government didn't protect the people's natural rights, then those people had the right to rebel.

The Americans decided to rebel against the British, and thus caused the Revolution
