How did the enlightenment thinkers impact the political thought of the colonist

The colonist settle in the Eastern side of the United States. These were known as New England, Middle Colonies and Southern Colonies. During this time, colonies had tensions with the Mother Country known as Great Britain. The colonist did not like the way how Great Britain passed laws without their representation. It was "Taxation without Representation". The enlightenment thinkers influenced the American Revolution. It influenced the 13 colonies to break away from Great Britain, because they believe all man were born with natural rights.

the committees of correspondence were the american colonies’ means for maintaining communication lines in the years before the revolutionary war. in 1764, boston formed the earliest committee of correspondence to encourage opposition to britain’s stiffening of customs enforcement and prohibition of american paper money. the following year, new york formed a similar committee to keep the other colonies notified of its actions in resisting the stamp act. in 1773, the virginia house of burgesses proposed that each colonial legislature appoint a committee for intercolonial correspondence. the exchanges that followed built solidarity during the turbulent times and bring about the formation of the first continental congress in 1774.
