The Age of Enlightenment coincided with the American Revolution, during which time the people asked, "Why should we follow British rule." The revolution was a political upheaval that took place between 1765 - 1783. The colonists in the Thirteen American Colonies rejected the British monarchy and aristocracy, overthrew the authority of Great Britain and thus founded the United States of America. From 1765, the colonists already started to go against the authority of the British Parliament.
