THANK YOU!
Rousseau advocated government based on social contract.
The French philosophers such as John Locke and Jean Jacques Rousseau, were educated and believed in a society based on equal laws and opportunities for all. John Locke wrote a book, “Two Treatises of Government”, wherein he sought to refute the doctrine of the divine and the absolute right of the monarch. Rousseau took this idea further and proposed a form of government based on the social contract between the people and their representatives.
These philosophershad access to new ideas and their ideas were discussed intensively at public places. They were even read aloud for the uneducated.
In fact, the idea of a form of government in which the powers were divided between the judiciary, executive and the legislature by Montesquiue was used in the United States.
