Proponents of scientific politics rejected liberal jacobinism, and sought to replace revolution with evolution.
They rejected classical liberal notions like individual rights, natural law, and constitutionalism as 'metaphysical' and disruptive to social and political evolution.
Most proponents of scientific politics could be found in France, the Ottoman Empire, Spain and Latin America.
The rule of Porfirio Díaz in Mexico[2] and Juan Vicente Gómez in Venezuela was justified by their supporters using the theories of scientific politics.
The national motto of Brazil, Order and Progress (Ordem e Progresso), was one of the main adages of scientific politics.
