How England was Impacted during the Scientific Revolution

The Scientific Revolution was a major factor in England for various reasons. England witnessed the birth of many talented thinkers, including Thomas Hobbs and John Locke, men whose theories would eventually spark revolution. As the Scientific Revolution gave way to reason in a push away from the church, these men began to become more liberal on philosophical ideas about government and general human rights. Locke's famous quote about each man's right to "Life, liberty, and property" was a new and profound idea that would be a key slogan behind the American Revolution. England, more than any other nation, felt this vast change in attitude with the arrival of the Scientific Revolution. A philosopher of this era, Sir Francis Bacon, brought about the essay in England. Although he is not credited for the creation of the essay, he is responsible for bringing it to England. His creation of the scientific method also attributed to the evolution in science going on at the time, not just in England, but all throughout Europe. Also during this time, Mary Wollstonecraft, an English author wrote about the rights of women and greatly impacted the female development in society. Today, she is considered the most influential spokeswoman of women's rights of early European history.
