Detailed Solution

Jean-Jacques Rousseau was an enlightenment thinker whose writings are said to have created conditions for a revolution in France. His political and intellectual beliefs influenced the French Revolution (1712-1778). Rousseau established the concept of the "Social Contract" during his inquiry, which is an unwritten agreement between governments and individuals. He also invented the concept of popular sovereignty, which implies that true political authority is derived from popular agreement. This concept played an important role in justifying both the American and French revolutions.
