Very interesting question.
the 'idea' 'natural law' comes from ancient Greece (Athens), around 600BC.
The free men of Athens (1 sixth of the population) kind of 'capitalists') liked 'Law and Order'. In fact they hated rebellious slaves (also 1 sixth), and designed a natural law that asked for 'obedience'.
A 'natural' law that saw slaves and women as 'lower life'
Quite different from the beliefs in the Middle East (especially Persia).
The Romans spread this belief in Europe as Catholicism.
And in Enlightenment 'natural law' was made into Catholicism.
It is the reason why 'rationalism' is perfectly suited to defend 'capitalism'.
The society in the US in like a present day version of ancient Greece.

How did rationalism diiferent from puritanism and what effect did rationalism have on the new American political system?
A formal definition of 'puritanism' is covering 'puritan' behavior Fact is that at start of The New World practically all protestants in America had 'puritan views. Resulting in butchering Red Indians as 'barbarians' and in 'slavery'. The protestants flying to The New World generally were not wanted in Europe and looking for a 'promised land' 'Rationalism' as logic can not be compared to 'puritanism', but 'rationalism' was a perfect tool to expres 'puritanism'. American society became increasingly 'rational' (the law is reason without emotion) After World War II american 'rationalism' was exported to Europe via Marshall Help Resulting in most of the present 'power driven' political parties
