Before the Scientific Revolution, most people believed that the Earth was at the center of the universe and that humans were the focus of creation. The Scientific Revolution changed perceptions of humanity's place in the solar system by establishing that the Sun, not Earth, was at the center. Some positive aspects of government include separation of powers and promoting religious tolerance. Potential areas for improvement involve things like criminal justice and women's rights.
