The American Enlightenment was driven by several key factors, including the influence of European Enlightenment thinkers who emphasized reason, science, and individual rights. The rapid spread of new ideas through print media, such as pamphlets and newspapers, facilitated intellectual discussions among the colonists. Additionally, the growing dissatisfaction with British rule and the desire for self-governance spurred an emphasis on liberty and democracy. Lastly, the impact of the Scientific Revolution fostered a belief in progress and the potential for human improvement.
