How did the enlightenment thinkers change the way people viewed the role of government?
Enlightenment thinkers emphasized reason, individual rights, and the social contract, transforming how people perceived government. They argued that governments should exist to protect the rights and freedoms of individuals rather than impose authority arbitrarily. This shift led to the belief that legitimacy arises from the consent of the governed, fostering ideas of democracy and accountability. Ultimately, these ideals encouraged movements toward more egalitarian and participatory forms of governance.
