Explanation:
In the late 17th century, Age of Reason was spreading in Europe. Many philosophers, thinkers and scientists were emerging. These changes were bringing a revolution and enlightenment in people.
According to "Montesquieu", the government in which the legislative, judicial, and executive powers are separate is the best one. No branch of government can become successful by being this.
Copernicus claimed that Earth wasn't really the center of the universe, but that the sun was close to it. This statement was even confirmed by Galileo but the churches was not ready to accept those findings which they thought that would impact their religious beliefs.
John Locke was the developer underlying Western democracies. Locke stated that mankind's most essential human principle is the conservation of life. Locke claimed that people had the right to change the government in case it doesn't protect the natural rights of life, liberty and property.
