Separating From Britain: The Declaration Of Independence: Enlightenment and the American Intellectual Tradition
a. Benjamin Franklin, The Autobiography (1784-88)
Benjamin Franklin was American printer and publisher, businessman, statesman, man of letters, journalist, author, inventor and scientist, and diplomat. He was the American Enlightenment. His struggle of life influenced American people. Since he was young he likes much reading the books. He makes time for reading an hour or two each day. His thinking shows that by reading everything the people will get much advantage and also find the brilliant thought in daily life. It will shape the people thinking in seeing and judging the problems based on their experience. In religious aspect he argue that people could not miss of having some morality: Keeping holy the Sabbath Day, Being diligent in reading Holy Scriptures, Attending duly the public worship, Partaking of the Sacrament, and paying a due respect to God’s minister.
Benjamin Franklin use his time wisely. He do not want lost his time in vain. In order to manage his time well, he makes a schedule from his waking until his time of sleeping. He really spend the time in to good account. He evaluate his daily activities by checking the draft of doing a good deeds. He can control his daily life and also make improvement toward the next days. His ambition of habits are: temperance, silence, order, resolution, frugality, industry, sincerity, justice, moderation, cleanliness, tranquility, chastity, and humility.
Based on the reality above, Benjamin Franklin really endeavor to make his life in a high quality. He believes that when the human being life in a peace and doing the good deeds consequently will please in meeting with the God.
b. John Adams, A Dissertation on The Canon and the Feudal Law (1765)
Two great causes of the ruin of mankind are ignorance and inconsideration. By this quotation John Adams start thinking about the Feudal Law. Because man has certainly an exalted soul, man should be treated well. Rights of human being cannot be replaced with anything. The people should get the proper right based on their rights created justice. The two greatest of tyranny are Canon and Feudal Law. The great desire will lead into so much good and so much evil is in vice versa. The most important thing is the liberty of universal where everything is run as it should be. When the people get the freedom they would like to live in peace without intimidation and fear since fear can be the source of human suffering. They could open the heaven as prepared God for anyone who do the did in the right tract. Therefore I conclude that by seeing the fact, John Adams idea tends to shows that the Revolution of the government was in the minds and hearts of the people, a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations.
