How did the scientific Revolution change the way scientists proved their ideas during the Enlightenment?

The Scientific Revolution created more hardcore scientific techniques to prove theories. It also sparked a time when the sciences of the times came under scrutiny and new theories were explored, and proven/disproven. Social Sciences became a more significant part of the scientific world and people such as Locke brought out the possibilities that the people should aide in governing themselves. People began to realize that they had been repressed and that there were ways to have a say in society/government.
