15. The Great Awakenings • Widespread revivals led by evangelical Protestant ministers, a sharp increase of interest in religion, a profound sense of conviction and redemption on the part of those affected, a jump in evangelical church membership, and the formation of new religious movements. • The First Great Awakening began in 1734 and lasted to about 1750. Leaders of the Awakening such as Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield had little interest in merely engaging parishioners' minds; they wanted far more to elicit an emotional response from their audience, one which create passionate and devout followers • The Second Great Awakening was strongest in the western states. New religious denominations (kinds of religion) emerged, including Seventh-day Adventists, Church of Christ, Disciples of Christ, and the Latter Day Saint movement.

17. First Great Awakening: Main Points • Causes • Long-term Effects

18. Causes: First Great Awakening • In late 17th Century England, fighting between religious and political groups came to a halt with the Glorious Revolution of 1688, an event which established the Church of England as the reigning church of the country. Other religions, such as Catholicism, Judaism, and Puritanism, were subsequently suppressed. • From a political perspective, this led to stability since everyone now practiced the same religion. But instead of being a positive driving force for religious belief in general, it created complacency and spiritual “dryness” among believers. • Religion became something of a pastime in which people would “go through the motions” during religious services without deeply-felt convictions of the heart and soul. It was only after some decades of this kind of complacency in both England and the American colonies that the spiritual “revival” of the Great Awakening came about.

19. Effects: First Great Awakening • The Awakening prepared America for its War of Independence. In the decades before the war, religious revivalism taught people that they could be bold when confronting religious authority, and that when churches weren’t living up to the believers’ expectations, the people could break off and form new ones. • Through the Awakening, the Colonists realized that religious power resided in their own hands, rather than in the hands of the Church of England, or any other religious authority. • Colonists came to realize that political power did not reside in the hands of the English King, but in their own will for self-governance. By 1775, even though the Colonists did not all share the same theological beliefs, they did share a common vision of freedom from British control. Thus, the Great Awakening brought about a climate which made the American Revolution possible.

24. Social Contract • The Social Contract is an idea that Enlightenment philosophers, such as Locke put forth. It states that the people and the government form an agreement, in which the people give up some rights and the government protects their rights and property. • If the contract is broken by the government becoming abusive, people have the right to change or overthrow the government.
