Detailed Solution

The ruler of France, Louis XVI, planned to impose further taxes to meet the state's expenses. But this generated anger and resulted in a protest against the system of privileges. The protest was further intensified by the ideas of major philosophers like John Locke and Rousseau. The concepts and thoughts of philosophers were extensively discussed in public spaces, including coffee houses, and rapidly spread through books and newspapers.
Hence, both assertion and reason are true, and the reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
