=**//The Enlightenment and the French Revolution//**= Enligtenment philosophes in the 1700's started to ask serious questions about government, such as, 'Do natural laws also apply to humans?' These thinkers used logic and reason to answer tough questions and not religion, faith and superstition. They also started making people believe that all governments should protect these rights for their citizens. The philosophes also questioned the divine right of monarchs that stated that God gave them the right to rule over their people. All this started a big ruckus and the French Revolution was started by word of mouth. All of it was started by Enlightenment thinkers.
