People challenged religious institutions during the Reformation, which led them to challenge governmental authority during the Enlightenment.

Explanation: The Reformation weakened the unquestioned authority of the Catholic Church, promoted individual conscience, literacy, and critical inquiry (helped by the printing press). That habit of questioning authority carried into the Enlightenment, where thinkers applied reason and critique to politics and government (natural rights, social contract, separation of powers).
