What principles from the scientific revolution led to people pursuing questions about the ideal form of government

Questioning and rationale thought--The Scientific Revolution sparked a sense of questioning the world around us and using rational, structured thinking to address a problem.

The scientific method began to emerge and was applied to discovering the workings of the universe, body, and environment. These same methods used in universities could then be applied to studying the workings of our history and government. Then using questioning and rational thinking new methods and theories could be developed to address the structure of society.
