How might the ideas of the enlightenment and the great awakening have justified
colonists’ unhappiness with english policies after the french and indian war?

One of the ways in which the ideas of the enlightenment and the great awakening have justified colonists’ unhappiness with English policies after the French and Indian War is that these ideas held that the citizens should ultimately be in charge of their government through the principle of popular sovereignty--meaning that the colonists were unhappy with the new wave of taxes implemented after the French and Indian war.
