Declarations of Independence!

He made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries. What this really mean is that the king is taking it upon hisself to appoint members of the court who had the same opinions of him, controling their pay roll, and therefore corrupting the sytem of England. This is an example of rationalist thought because the king is using his reason and judgement to rule England in his favor. He does not rely on God to pick his officers or help him rule.

He has kept among us in times of peace standing armies without the consent of out legislatures. He's keeping armies around England when there's no war going on, without getting permission from the legislatures. He's again is taking it upon hisself to protect England using his own judgement rather than relying on faith to protect his country. This is rationalism because he is reasoning that incase their is a war he will have taking the necessary steps to fight his enemies.

He has dissolved representative houses repeatly, for opposing with manly firmness his invasions on the right of the people. He invaded people rights, he wanted things to be done his way and he determined what the right of the people were. This is an example of rationalism because he don't need God's help to rule the people. The king decides what his people rights are without the help of God. As king, he takes on the position of God, forcing his people to live to his standards and rules. He determines the rights and wrongs that his people must follow, rather than a higher being.

Rationalism is the belief that human beings can arrive at truth by using reason, rather than by relying on the authority of the past, on religious faith, or on intuition.
