In World History over the next couple of weeks, we will examine the developments of the Scientific Revolution and the Enlightenment periods. More specifically, we will analyze how advancements in science, such as Nicolaus Copernicus' heliocentric theory, lead to ideological shifts in society. We will also examine the different opinions of great philosophers - such as Hobbes, Locke, Voltaire, and Montesquieu - on the purpose of government and the nature of the "social contract" that exists between a government and its citizens. This unit of study will bring us to the ideological roots of major changes in Europe and North America, including the American Revolution and the French Revolution.
