The Enlightenment and the Great Awakening influenced colonists to think outside the box. They thought about natural rights and laws, social contract, and republicanism according to the Enlightenment. For the Great Awakening, people became equal in society. This impacted the American Revolution by the colonists wanting to be governed by these two ideas. Hope this helps!
