Jean Jacques Rousseau was a French philosopher who believed in a society based on freedom and equal laws and opportunities for all. He did not believed in the doctrine of the divine and absolute right of the monarch and in opposition to this system he proposed that there should be a government that carries a social contract between people and their representatives.

His ideas were liked immensely and discussed extensively in public places such as salons and coffee-houses. People wrote his ideas in books and newspapers and tried to spread them among the masses. His ideas spread revolutionary spirit in educated as well as among those also who could not read or write.

People gathered courage to fight against further increment of taxes imposed by Louis XVI and protested against the system of privileges.
