Answer 2

Rousseau argued against inequality among the classes, while Voltaire argued for freedom of speech and religion

Explanation:

• Voltaire, a French Enlightenment  historian, philosopher, and writer was renowned for his wits, condemnation of Christianity, and the Roman Catholic Church in particular, as well as his support of freedom of speech, religious rights and the separation of church and state. Voltaire was a versatile and prolific writer who created literature, including theater and plays, books, reviews, and historic and science works, in nearly any literary genre. About 20,000 letters and about 2, 000 books and pamphlets have been published by him. Notwithstanding the danger this put him under the rigid censorship rules of the day, he remained a powerful supporter of democratic freedoms. He used his works often to condemn intolerance, religious dogma and the French institutions of his day.
• Rousseau was a Genevan philosopher, writer and composer.. His philosophical theory also shaped the advancement of the Enlightenment in Europe and the growth of cultural, economic and educational concepts since the French Revolution. Rousseau thought that ordinary humans are slaves to their own desires for all types of social ills, whether they abuse and control others or have low self-esteem and depression. Rousseau claimed that the most important goal of good governance would be the equality of all its people. To Rousseau, discrimination is only natural because it includes physical differences between citizens. Nevertheless, in western society inequality stems from a human evolution that has distorted the essence of the individual being and subjected him to laws and properties which still endorse a new, immoral kind of inequality known as moral inequality.
