Question

How did the philosophers contribute to awakening of the French revolution

Answer 1

the ideas envisaging a society based on freedom and equal laws and opportunities were put forward by philosophers like John Locke and Jean Jacques Rossaeu. in his TWO TREATISES OF GOVERNMENT Locke sought to refute the doctrine of divine and absolute right of the monarch. Rosseau carried the idea forward proposing a form of government based on a social contract between people and their representatives. in THE SPIRIT OF LAWS Montesquie proposed a division of power within the government between the executive, legislative and judiciary.
