How were the ideas of enlightenment thinkers influenced by the scientific revolution?

The Enlightenment period was a direct consequence of the Scientific Revolution.

The Scientific Revolution dotted Enlightenment thinkers with a scientific method and the crucial notion that human reasoning had the power and the capabilities to change the way we function in the world and how we were able to understand it.

Before the Scientific Revolution, mankind was largely under the impression that all phenomena could only be explained through religion. During the Scientific Revolution, freedom from this traditional approach was finally achieved and it opened the doors for a massive flooding of theories, inventions, books, scientific findings, essays, laws, philosophies by some of the most brilliant minds ever.

The Scientific Revolution questioned superstition and traditional beliefs that had not been investigated.  The Enlightenment championed this approach to knowledge, emphasizing the use of reason in all matters, in contrast to following superstition or unquestioningly accepting traditional beliefs.  

The Scientific Revolution showed that there are natural laws in place in the physical world and in the universe at large.  Applying similar principles to matters like government and society, Enlightenment thinkers believed that using reason will guide us to the best ways to operate politically so we can create the most beneficial conditions for society.  For many Enlightenment thinkers, this included a conviction that all human beings have certain natural rights which are to be protected and preserved.    This led to changes of approach to how society should be governed -- moving away from ideas like the "divine right of kings" to the establishment of more democratic, constitutional societies.
