How did the Scientific Revolution lead to democracy?

One way in which scientists thought they could improve society was by changing its government. Scientists' use of reason and logic during the Scientific Revolution helped pave the way for the beginnings of democratic thought in Europe. But the idea that people's lives were governed by laws had a deeper meaning as well. If all people were governed by the same laws, then it stood to reason that all people must be equal. This idea of the equality of all people was a fundamental step in the development of democratic ideas in Europe.
