How did the protestant reformation and scientific revolution advance individualism and liberal reforms?

Both of these movements caused a lasting impact on European society.

Protestant Reformation brought awareness among people who begin to question the teachings of the Catholic church. They started to realize the power of individuality and how can it bring changes in society leading to the rise of capitalism.  

The scientific revolution was the product of the protestant revolution. Many things were invented, for example, the printing press which helped to spread the original copies of the bible. These reformations encouraged people to discard old beliefs.

explanation:

as the old saying goes, all politics are local. state and federal governments affect our daily lives in numerous ways. yet, in our federal system, there is supposed to be a balance between federal and state power. as james madison envisioned it in federalist no. 51, “the power surrendered by the people” would be “divided between two distinct governments,” creating a balance of power that would enable the “different governments [to] control each other.”
