The revolutionary generation was heavily influenced by the Enlightenment, with its great emphasis on science; they based much of their political theory on scientific ideas and defended their theories by analogies from the physical, mechanical, and biological sciences.
Though Adams was not as well-versed in science as Jefferson or Franklin, his Harvard education (in particular, his studies with Professor John Winthrop) gave him a background in both physics and mathematics.
Cohen's overarching thesis is that science influenced the political theories and debates of the Revolutionary generation, by providing them with ideals to achieve and models to imitate, as well as analogies to support and illustrate their arguments in debate.

 Science Quotes
Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense differing from the latter only as a veteran may differ from a raw recruit: and its methods differ from those of common sense only as far as the guardsman's cut and thrust differ from the manner in which a savage wields his club.
Science is facts; just as houses are made of stone, so is science made of facts; but a pile of stones is not a house, and a collection of facts is not necessarily science.
Experimental science is the queen of sciences and the goal of all speculation.

For decades researchers have debated whether the mantle, the vast layer of viscous rock between Earth's molten iron core and the outer shell of tectonic plates, is neatly divided at a depth of 660 kilometers into two layers that never mix, or whether it churns from top to bottom over the eons.

Endodontics has been termed a science as well as an art because in spite of all the factual scientific foundation on which current endodontics is based, completing an ideal endodontic job is an art in itself.
Grossman, the pioneer of endodontics, published an excellent history of endodontics in the July 1976 issue of JADA in which he divides the evolution of the science of endodontics over four half centuries from 1776 to 1976.

 SignOnSanDiego.com > News > Science/Health -- 1826 photograph to undergo unprecedented scientific analysis
LOS ANGELES – One summer morning, Joseph Nicephore Niepce peered from the window of an upstairs bedroom in his home in the French countryside, framed the view of several farm buildings, the sky and a pear tree and did something remarkable: he took a picture.
Opening the lens of a rudimentary camera for eight hours that day in 1826, Niepce exposed a polished, thinly varnished pewter plate to a view that was as banal then as it is famous Wednesday.
In June, 176 years later, the faint image will arrive at The Getty Conservation Institute, where scientific experts will analyze the priceless image for the first time since it was rediscovered and authenticated in 1952.

And in a science, whose mastery demands a whole life of laborious diligence, whose details are inexhaustible, and whose intricacies task the most acute intellects, it would be a matter of surprise, if every hour withdrawn from its concerns did not somewhat put at hazard the success of its votary.
Opinions in science, in physic, in philosophy, in morals, in religion, in literature have been subjected to the severest scrutiny; and many, which had grown hoary under the authority of ages, have been quietly conveyed to their last home with scarcely a solitary mourner to grace their obsequies.
But it is in physical science, and especially in its adaptation to the arts of life, that the present age may claim precedence of all others.

Science and Religion assesses the impact of social, political and intellectual change upon Anglican circles, with reference to Oxford University in the decades which followed the French Revolution and the Napoleonic wars.
More particularly, the career of Baden Powell, father of the more famous founder of the Boy Scout movement, offers material for an important case-study in intellectual and political reorientation: his early militancy in right-wing Anglican movements slowly turned to a more tolerant attitude towards radical theological, philosophical and scientific trends.

Mermaids (Shillaber 1823), sea serpents (American Journal of Science and Arts, 1826), and the efficacy of divining rods for locating water (Emerson, 1821) were topics of interest to scientists of that era.

This episode illustrates how Cohen's perspective enriches our understandings of perennial subjects of scholarly inquiry; though the controversy over unicameral versus bicameral legislatures has long been a staple of historians' understandings of the evolution of American constitutionalism,[6] no previous scholar has noted the invocation of scientific analogies by the key figures in that dispute.
In his fifth and final chapter, "Science and the Constitution," Cohen studies science as it influenced the political thought of James Madison and other members of the Federal Convention of 1787, as it emerges in the text of the Constitution, and as it was used by Madison to defend the Constitution in his essays in

His interest in science had already been aroused by a chance encounter with a popular scientific book, and by 1823 his education was so far advanced that he was assisting in the teaching of science courses.
By 1826, after a stint as a district schoolteacher and as a private tutor, he was appointed Professor of Mathematics and Natural Philosophy at the Academy.
Henry was one of the original members of the National Academy of Sciences and served as its second president.

A particular set of them here, have undertaken to remodel all the terms of the science, and to give to every substance a new name, the composition, and especially the termination of which, shall define the relation in which it stands to other substances of the same family.
But the science seems too much in its infancy as yet, for this reformation; because, in fact, the reformation of this year must be reformed again the next year, and so on, changing the names of substances as often as new experiments develope properties in them undiscovered before.

Two representative figures in the science of the Age of Enlightenment: the Count de Buffon (by R Sauvage, 1785) and Thomas Jefferson (by Charles Willson Peale, 1791), depicted about the time of their scientific interchange in Paris.
Economy in government and strict construction of the Constitution were the watchwords of the Jeffersonian Republican administrations that guided the nation's destinies in the first quarter of the nineteenth century; proposals for establishing a national university, botanical garden, or national observatory at public expense received short shrift in the halls of Congress.
To what extent the champions of science in the nascent urban centers of the new republic succeeded in establishing a solid institutional base for scientific research will be seen in Chapters 2-5.

In a news report ["Slide into Ice Ages Not Carbon Dioxide's Fault?" Science 284, 1743-1746, 1999], Richard Kerr quotes paleo-climatologist Thomas Crowley (Texas A&M): "It could be the whole carbon dioxide paradigm is crumbling," at least for explaining long-term climate changes.
Finally, an interesting new method for measuring ancient levels of carbon dioxide relies on the inverse relation between CO2 levels and the frequency of stomata [breathing holes] in tree leaves.
We end by quoting the distinguished physicist Freeman Dyson, who has written a skeptical article about the science and politics of climate.
