Which is not an example of ideas from the scientific revolution being applied to the social world during the enlightenment? a. locke believed in natural law and natural rights and argued that governments exist to protect those rights. b. cromwell believed that puritans knew god's will and therefore closed theaters and banned christmas celebrations. c. montesquieu argued that government powers should be separated in order to protect people's rights. d. franklin believed in using reason to solve social problems and established libraries and fire departments for the good of all.

Letter B is correct. Oliver Cromwell was indeed a Calvinist protector of the Puritans in England, but he did not command any closure of theaters or Christmas banishment.

Letter A and C: Although John Locke is considered to be the 'father' of the Enlightenment. Empiricist and representative of the Liberal Individualism, he argued that sovereignty should not belong to the State, but to the people.

Although he was the first to propose the government powers separation in England, Charles Montesquieu (one of the most important representatives of the Enlightenment movement in France, along with Voltarie and Rousseau) also proposed that the power should be divided among Executive, Legislative and Judiciary.

Letter D: Benjamin Franklin, inventor, writer, philosopher, diplomat and one of the signatures under the U.S. Declaration of independence, was also fond of the Enlightenment ideals. Known as the greatest diplomat in the history of America, he was as popular as Voltaire in XVIII Century Enlightened France, what made him able to convince the French Monarchy to aid their cause against the Great Britain domain, towards the independence consolidation. Among his many deeds after inaugurating democracy in U.S., he engaged in several community-oriented projects, including the creation of libraries and universities for the population.

B. Cromwell believed that Puritans knew God's will and therefore closed theaters and banned Christmas celebrations.

Explanation:

i confess that there are several parts of this constitution which i do not at present approve, but i am not sure i shall never approve them: for having lived long, i have experienced many instances of being obliged by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions even on important subjects, which i once thought right, but found to be otherwise. it is therefore that the older i grow, the more apt i am to doubt my own judgment, and to pay more respect to the judgment of others.
