Throughout the course of written history, mint acquire make neat changes that have make the society, authorities, and traditions what they are today. Even before written history, rough individual made huge a revolution in the world by creating a writing system. People gauge hard to change and mold the world and many have come out positively, and others negatively. A great time of change and revolution in history is the Enlightenment and the Scientific Revolution. Some people who have had a great impact during this time were the Scientists Copernicus and Galileo, and the philosopher Locke.Before Copernicuss time people had agreed with Ptolemys Geocentric Theory, that the farming was the center of the universe and the lie and everything else revolved around the earth. This also went with the churchs teachings and the church was basically the law in that time, so they influenced and stressed that idea, and most people agreed and believed it. However Copernicus went against the church, the people, and the accepted law and said that the sun was the center of the universe and not the earth. He declared that the Sun was a solitary object opus all the other planets including the earth rotated around the sun, called the Heliocentric Theory. This caused turmoil and confusion within the people with some still accept the old law and others siding with Copernicus. If Copernicus did not have the courage to kiosk out and speak against the church then who whops when we wouldve figured that out.another(prenominal) scientist backing the Heliocentric Theory was Galileo, plausibly one of the most famous scientists of this time period, and was also a heretic. Not only did he admirer prove that the Theory was true, he also proved all of Aristotles ancient theories violate. The church had been teaching and believing these century old teachings Aristotle had made and it had been the law for decades. Yet Galileo came and proved every single theory wrong thus angering th e church and he was taken to inquisition by the church and took back all that he said for his life, which was a little negative, but the fact that he had said it so people would know was good because then the people would know and more people would finish the studies that he started.A great philosopher of this time was Locke.

In the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America, there are ternary rights that are unable to be taken away from you, which are, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Although the one of the rights were changed, Lockes Philosophy still influenced it. Another nation that has taken his philosophies into account is France. However in their declaration, the rights are life, liberty, and resistance to oppression.He also give tongue to that if the government takes one or more of these rights away from anyone, the people should rebel and abolish the unjust rulers /government, and force a new system that will preserve those rights. He also wrote two treatises on government in 1690. His ideas have affected the worlds greatest nations and those nations have prospered during the time after him.These people, the scientists Copernicus and Galileo, and the philosopher Locke have made a huge impact on the world and what it has become today. Though these three had most positive effects, some great people did not have that result. Thanks to these three great men, the world is a more knowledgeable and prospering place to live.
